 - property names. That's what you had to deal with for Sparc. I think
it's fair enough to use strcasecmp for these. They are supposed to not
have case, while they happen to do here or there, there is almost no
chance of conflict (several properties with a name differring only by
the case).

 - property content. (That include node names which are really only the
content of the "name" property of that node). The ATA/ata case was for
property content in fact (name property and type property iirc) which is
a different thing and must be kept case sensitive I beleive. That covers
the case of of_device_is_compatible() which should use strcmp (or the
-n- version of it of course).

Do we agree on that ?

Ok, I think so.

Meanwhile any feedback on the idea of pushing all of this
consolidation and cleanup work through one of our trees
instead of having all of these difficult dependencies
between the two?

Thanks.
