I agree to use something like:
armada-370-xp-pmsu@22000 {
compatible = "marvell,armada-xp-pmsu"; /* new compatible string */But this PMSU is identical on 370, no? So the marvell,armada-xp-pmsu compatible string is maybe not the most appropriate one?
reg = <0x22000 0x1000>; }; and I think the best option would be to introduce a new compatible string for this. In the same time we continue to support the old compatible string but we print a big warning during the kernel boot that this compatible string is deprecated, and we will finally remove it a few release.
How do you support the new features of the L2 stuff with the old compatible string? By substracting 0x100 to the register base address? Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
