Moreover enabling it at the end only makes it hard to follow platform data changes. What about adding sm8550 at this point and adding sm8250 at the end? Or enabling qcom,sm8550-iris and the fake qcom,sm8250-iris now (and clearly documenting it as fake) and as the last patch change it to qcom,sm8250-venus.Sure, we will add qcom,sm8250-iris at this point so that it enables the testing of the driver, and will add one patch at the last to add qcom,sm8250-venus.Sorry fixing the typos. what I meant was, we will add qcom,sm8550-iris at this point so that it enables the testing of the driver, and will add one patch at the last to add qcom,sm8250-venus.
I hope you meant 'to change qcom,sm8250-iris to qcom,sm8250-venus'. Also please clearly document that qcom,sm8250-iris is a temporary thing just to facilitate documentation and testing of the driver to be removed as a last patch.
