Properties 'clocks', 'resets' and 'phys' have been moved from parent node to the root port childs. Hence we have to adapt the way device tree is parsed in driver code to properly align things and make all the stuff work. Signed-off-by: Sergio Paracuellos <sergio.paracuellos@gmail.com>It sounds like this commit needs a fixes tag? What does "to properly align things and make all the stuff work." in terms of what the user sees?I submitted this driver to get mainlined and when bindings have been reviewed I've been told to move this stuff into child nodes. Until now all was also being properly working but with these properties defined in the parent node. So I don't think any Fixes tag is needed here. So hopefully changes on this patchset are the last need to get this properly mainlined. I've been told to just make a 'git mv' without zero changes from the staging driver, that's why I am submitting changes to staging before.
I'm really trying to understand how this affects the user experience but it sounds like you don't know either but you were told it was the correct thing and it seems to work? That's not ideal but I can live with it I guess... I guess hopefully no change but it's just a correctness issue? Btw, we moved from devm_reset_control_get_exclusive() to of_reset_control_get_exclusive(). Does that mean we need to add a call to reset_control_put() in the remove() path? regards, dan carpenter
