Well, you may as well make all the descriptions consistent since you've explicitly attempted to describe the format of each property rather than just using the rather inexact text that's usually used. Hopefully when we have a DT schema and bindings can inherit from each-other, only one single binding schema will actually have to specify the format of reg, and others will simply define how many entries to the property requires. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
