>
> Current device tree compiler allows to define multiple labels when
> defining the device node the first time. Typically device nodes are
> defined in DTSI files. Now these nodes can be overriden for updating
> some of the properties. Typically, device nodes are overridden in DTS
> files.

> When working with adapter boards, most of the time adapter board can
> fit to multiple base boards. But depending on which base board it is
> connected to, the devices on the adapter board would be children of
> different devices.
>
> e.g. On dra7-evm.dts, i2c2 is exported for expansion connector whereas
> on dra72-evm.dts, i2c5 is exported for expansion connector.
> This causes a problem when writing a generic device tree file for the
> adapter board. Because, you cannot know wheather all the devices on
> adpter board are present on i2c or i2c5.
>
> The problem can be solved by adding a common label (e.g. i2cexp) in
> both of the DTS files when overriding the device nodes for i2c2 or
> i2c5.
> This way, generic adapter board file would override the i2cexp. And
> depending on which base board you use the adpter board, all the devices
> are automatically added for correct device nodes.
