So can I ask that we start taking this seriously and stop doing things
which prevent Allwinner boards from being supported properly?
Which would first involve dropping this very patch?
The driver still supports the old binding.
Having done breakage in the past (with "allwinner,sun7i-a20-mmc", for
instance) is no excuse for doing it again.
I'm not sure which breakage we introduced with a new compatible: the
old compatible is working just like it used to, and the new one is
working like we need it to.
And especially I want to avoid this habit creeping into the arm64
world (thinking about the H5 here, which may be impacted by this
very patch, for instance).
And again, if you looked at the entire serie, you would have seen that
I took this into account.
