This reverts commit 40acc05271abc2852c32622edbebd75698736b9b. marvell,prestera.txt is an old file describing the old Alleycat3 standalone switches. The commit mentioned above actually hacked these bindings to add support for a device tree property for a more modern version of the IP connected over PCI, using only the generic compatible in order to retrieve the device node from the prestera driver to read one static property. The problematic property discussed here is "base-mac-provider". The original intent was to point to a nvmem device which could produce the relevant nvmem-cell. This property has never been acked by DT maintainers and fails all the layering that has been brought with the nvmem
It's funnier - it was never sent to DT maintainers nor to the devicetree@ list. :( Acked-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <redacted> Best regards, Krzysztof
