my impression is that with the move to arm64, you should come up with a new binding that can fully describe each controller so you don't have to add new code and bindings for each future SoC that uses the same scheme.Still, this is exactly the same thing I thought when initially refactoring this driver 2 years ago and what was dismissed at that time due to people supposedly not wanting that much data in DT. If this point of view has changed, then I fully support your view, though.
I guess people were at the time underestimating the rate at which Samsung comes out with new SoC variants that are all slightly different. Arnd
