The question was if the property name should be ext-reset-output or
fsl,ext-reset-output. In my opinion, it should be fsl,ext-reset-output
because it is not a generic property. Tim disagrees.

Guenter,

My issue regarding the vendor prefix was not a hard dissagreement but
was more about me understanding the rational behind using vendor
prefixes. In this case the imx2_wdt driver 'is' a vendor specific
driver as its compatible strings are prefixed with 'fsl,' so isn't
'any' property added to devicetree/bindings/watchdog/fsl-imx-wdt.txt
inherently a vendor specific properly already? I assume that is why
the 'big-endian' property isn't 'fsl,big-endian'.

Maybe it's more about if it 'is' marked as a vendor specific property
its much easier to get approval and accepted by a vendor-specific
maintainer?

So we have two options: Change the property name to fsl,ext-reset-output,
which I would accept, or wait for a devicetree maintainer to make a decision.

Guenter,

I agree with you on this point.  Before everyone agrees that this is a
generic binding, we should have vendor prefix for the property.

Tim,

This is a small change which, IMO, shouldn't hold an useful patch from being
merged.  Care to resend with the suggested change?

Shawn

Shawn,

Sure - I'll rebase and re-submit.

Tim
