I like the 'chosen' approach with the nodes you are proposing below. Thanks for the constructive suggestion. The binding description matches perfectly what we are trying to achieve. Rob? what do you think?I'm following this work from a distance but as we've just celebrated the 1st anniversary for this patch series (11 June 2016), I propose that we now make up our mind quickly. Everybody seem to be on the same page and willing to make this rework move forward. In Microchip/Atmel we would like to actually use this TCB rework both internally and in our mainline work to avoid having to rely on our own out-of-tree implementation. The newly-added samv7 cortex-M can't boot without this series and a use of our current cortex-A SoCs with TrustZone in Secure World (SWd) is not possible with current mainline code only. On these two examples, the current timer on which we rely, the PIT, is not present. So you probably understand that more than one year without real progress begins to be a little bit frustrating for the AT91 users...
Nicolas, who are you exactly blaming? Are you surprised a 58 patches series, with a gazillion of Cc'ed people posted awhile ago, is ignored? -- <http://www.linaro.org/> Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro> Facebook | <http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg> Twitter | <http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog/> Blog -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
