What I am afraid of is: tentative solutions tend to stay, because the need for a proper solution is reduced. Yet, finding proper generic bindings might take some time which doesn't meet the high pressure around DT at the moment.I agree with what you say to some extent, but I believe that it is more important to have a working solution now than to ensure that each bindings are as unique as possible. After any suggestion of consolidation, a move from vendor specific to generically defined Device Tree bindings is trivial. Especially in the current stage where adaptions and definitions are still fluid.See my response to Linus. I do understand your view and where it comes from. As a maintainer, I have other priorities. No offence involved, it needs some settlement.
I'm certainly not adverse to doing this, although I'd prefer it was completed in the short-term. So should we do it? -- Lee Jones Linaro ST-Ericsson Landing Team Lead M: +44 77 88 633 515 Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
