The device-specific property should be prefixed with the vendor name Change this and document the bindings of this platform device.You are breaking backwards compatibility. You minimally need to state that and why that is okay in this case.There is no previous version yet: The patch that introduced this just entered for 4.13. Linus remarked that "linux," is the wrong prefix and wanted this to be changed before this version becomes final.
Please describe this in the commit message and add a Fixes tag. Rob
