I agree, but I note that by this rule all the primecell peripheral drivers are broken, because the binding docs say that the "clocks" and "clock-names" properties are optional but if you omit them from the dt node then the kernel refuses to even call the driver's probe code. (This is specifically irritating for QEMU because it means we have to create a dummy clock node in our device tree just to placate the kernel sufficiently that we can get it to talk to a PL011 UART model.) -- PMM -- 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
