Because the driver of sgpios doesn't be implemented, so I don't know how to describe it at sgpio-aspeed.txt.
Can I just add compatible string " aspeed,ast2600-sgpios " to the document for bypassing the warning of checkpatch?Ignore the sgpios issue for now; we don't have a driver for it so there's no need to add strings. Drop that part from your dts patch.

If I change the document whether I also need to send the patch for sgpio driver and g5/g4.dtsi?For the sgpiom? We already have a driver for that. As I said above, make this about fixing the sgpio master and put aside the sgpio slave issue for now. Cheers, Joel
