Hi Enric,

Could you check this issue? Your patch[1] causes this issue.
As Marc mentioned, although rk3399-dmc.c handled 'rockchip,pmu'
as the mandatory property, your patch[1] didn't add the 'rockchip,pmu'
property to the documentation.
I think the problem is that the DT binding patch, for some reason, was missed
and didn't land. The patch seems to have all the required reviews and acks.

Sorry because I didn't notice this issue when 9173c5ceb035 landed. And thanks
for fixing the issue.
If the 'rockchip,pmu' propery is mandatory, instead of Mark's patch,
we better to require the merge of patch[1] to DT maintainer.
It is way too late. Firmware exists (mainline u-boot, for one) that
do not expose the new property, and you can't demand that people
upgrade. This is an ABI bug, and we now have to live with it.
As you commented, it is proper that rk3399-dmc.c treats 'rockchip,pmu'
property as optional. Could you send v3 with edited patch descritpion
and adding stable mailing list to Cc?
So, yes to fixing the DT, and no to *only* fixing the DT.
