[PATCH RESEND v5 1/4] dt-bindings: mtd: raw-nand-chip: Relax node name pattern

From: J. Neuschäfer via B4 Relay <devnull+j.ne.posteo.net@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-01-01 16:58:34
Also in: b4-sent, dri-devel, linux-devicetree, lkml
Subsystem: memory technology devices (mtd), open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Miquel Raynal, Richard Weinberger, Vignesh Raghavendra, Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

From: "J. Neuschäfer" <redacted>

In some scenarios, such as under the Freescale eLBC bus, there are raw
NAND chips with a unit address that has a comma in it (cs,offset).
For reasons of compatibility with historical device trees and
readability of the unit addresses, this format is kept.

Relax the $nodename pattern in raw-nand-chip.yaml to allow such unit
addresses. Unfortunately $nonenames defined in bindings that reference
raw-nand

V4:
- reintroduce patch to silence dtc validation error, after discussion
  with Rob Herring and Miquèl Raynal
- add some more detail to the commit message

  (old pattern: "^nand@[a-f0-9](,[0-9a-f]*)?$")

V3:
- remove patch after discussion with Miquèl Raynal

V2:
- new patch
