This is a small series that introduces small improvements to the way Pine64 RockPro64 [1] single-board-computer is described in the DT files. This applies to both production-run revisions of the RockPro64. The introduced improvements boil down to eliminating some warnings from the kernel log, by adding a previously undefined regulator and by adding some previously missing references to the regulators. [...]Applied, thanks! [1/2] arm64: dts: rockchip: Add avdd HDMI supplies to RockPro64 board dtsi commit: bd1c959f37f384b477f51572331b0dc828bd009a [2/2] arm64: dts: rockchip: Add missing PCIe supplies to RockPro64 board dtsi commit: 64ef4a4320e7aa3f0f267e01f170f52b90bf0b1b I've moved the pcie12v supply up one line. While in a mathematical sense it's true 12 > 3.3, we're sorting alphabetical, so it's 1?? < 3?? . And yes I sympathize with 3.3 < 12, but also have come to appreciate not having overly many special cases :-)Great, thanks! :) I'm fine with the alphabetical ordering, albeit with some caveats described below, but the following part of the patch description should also be removed, if possible, so the patch description fully matches the introduced changes: Shuffle and reorder the "vpcie*-supply" properties a bit, so they're sorted alphanumerically, which is a bit more logical and more useful than having these properties listed in their strict alphabetical order.I've amended the commit, dropping this block
Thanks!

I'm hoping you'll agree that specifying alphanumerical ordering for the properties in the DTS coding style is the way to go, just like it's already specified for the ordering of the nodes. I'll go ahead and submit an appropriate patch for the DT guidelines.vpcie0v9-supply = <&vcca_0v9>; vpcie1v8-supply = <&vcca_1v8>; vpcie3v3-supply = <&vcc3v3_pcie>; vpcie12v-supply = <&vcc12v_dcin>; In the end I don't care _that_ much, but personally I find that alphanumerical ordering harder to read ;-) . Because in the example above, my mind now constantly shouts "why is vpcie1... after vpcie3... ..... ooooh right, it's alpha-numerical" But I can live with it I guess ;-) . As 3.3 is smaller than 12 afterall.
Oh, I know very well first-hand how alphanumerical ordering may look and feel strange at first... :) I used ls(1) without the "-v" option for many, many years, and the things looked a bit strange after I decided to add "-v" to its set of options at some point, but after a short period of getting used to it, alphanumerical sorting became so logical and useful to me that alphabetical ordering is actually now harder to read and is looking a bit strange to me. :)
