should list of recommended node names be updated?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



  in section 2.2.2 of devicetree spec v0.2, there is a moderately
lengthy list of recommended (but not mandatory) node names, but i
notice the use of a few other node names that might warrant inclusion
in that list.  first, there is a *single* use of the node name
"nor-flash" here:

  arm64/boot/dts/hisilicon/hip05-d02.dts:	nor-flash@0,0 {

but a single usage doesn't really warrant official approval.

  next, there is usage of both "spiflash" and "spi-flash", but
"spi-flash" is clearly the dominant form (searching under arch/):

  $ grep -r spi-flash@ * | wc -l
  38
  $ grep -r spiflash@ * | wc -l
  1

so is "spi-flash" a recommended node name to be added to that list?
(neither of them is in the list at present.)

  a few other node names i noticed in my travels, none of which are in
that list:

  video@...
  qos@...
  vram@...
  gadget@...
  video-scaler@...

  also, while the approved list contains "usb-phy", there is a fair
bit of just "ubsphy" -- is that equally acceptable?

  the list also contains "usb-hub", of which there is all of one
example:

  arm/boot/dts/exynos5410-odroidxu.dts:	usb3503: usb-hub@8 {

  finally, i notice a few instances of the node name "mtd_dataflash"
under arm/boot/dts (using an underscore instead of the ubiquitous
hyphen):

at91rm9200ek.dts:				mtd_dataflash@0 {
at91sam9260ek.dts:				mtd_dataflash@0 {
at91sam9261ek.dts:				mtd_dataflash@0 {
at91sam9263ek.dts:				mtd_dataflash@0 {
at91sam9g20ek_common.dtsi:				mtd_dataflash@0 {
at91sam9m10g45ek.dts:				mtd_dataflash@0 {
at91sam9rlek.dts:				mtd_dataflash@0 {
usb_a9263.dts:				mtd_dataflash@0 {

  i'm sure there's more, just curious if any of this merits updating
section 2.2.2 of the spec.
