DT is supposed to contain information about the hardware, so it should stay the same? I think there is no non-hackish way to decidecompatible would change, at a minimum.why? I would expect it to stay the same (and the current patch uses the same compatible strings).Exactly, the new driver must support all the compatible strings defined in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/omap_serial.tx (which already does as you pointed out). Otherwise the current drivers/tty/serial/omap-serial.c could never be removed since that would mean breaking DT backward compatibility.
that settles it then... good. I'll start testing this next week. -- balbi -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
