This is the part of the whole "DT is for hardware description only" that
doesn't really make sense to me.

OK yeah we do hardware description AND configuration.

And we never do interpreted languages.

And then there is a bunch of grayzone things. For example we have a
linux,input binding for connecting keypresses to certain Linux input codes.
That is really grayzone, but very useful.
Ah....

        compatible = "linux,grayzone";

Thanks for the reply. I'll stop ranting now.
Of course, I'll still probably screw it up again on a future patch somehow...
For this driver I remarked in some other thread that we may
end up with some

"renesas,bidirectional"

or so. But yeah, it's kinda grayzone too.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
