In order for controllers to get PHY in case of non dt boot, the phy binding information (phy device name) should be added in the platform data of the controller. Signed-off-by: Kishon Vijay Abraham I <redacted>I would rather not pass strings around, any other way to handle this ? Why do you need to pass this string ?Our old way of binding the controller and the phy using device name started creating problems after the devices are created using PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO. Infact non-dt boot is broken in mainline for OMAP3 platforms for which I have posted a RFC series http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,708632 which also uses strings. I'm not sure of any other way to deal with this.
have you checked how other frameworks handle it ? Regulator has some sort of binding in board-files, but I guess it passes the regulator name? -- balbi -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
