arc is also a cpu arch. While not a vendor, it could be confusing. How

about "arctic" >instead?

Rob, will do, i.e. I will change it to "arctic"

Hi Olimpiu,

Oh, "arc" and "arctic" is totally different.
In my opinion, one of the purposes of DT is to describe hardware stuffs.
So, please use more detailed words.

BTW, some reason your patches are not going to the DT list.

I'm emailing to devicetree@vger.kernel.org, I think this is the correct
list. Please advise.

DT is some kind of ABI. It means that changing DT names such as property names
is not easy, after DT patches were merged. So, if someone want to add new DT stuff
into the vanilla kernel, that patch should be reviewed more thoroughly
than normal patches about driver stuffs.

Thanks,
Jingoo Han
