Having a common connector interface across different platforms can be
problematic for determining which SOC device is connected to which
connector pins. The standard DT property "label" is intended to provide
a human readable name for a device and can be used to provide this
information. Then userspace can can read the label to determine the
device mapping. For example:
for f in $(ls -d /sys/class/tty/tty*); do
label=$(cat $f/device/of_node/label)
if [ "$label" = "LS-UART1" ]; then
# you've found UART1, so do something with it.
# $f/dev is the major:minor for the /dev node
fi
done
This series adds labels on hikey and dragonboard 410c devices for the
low speed and high speed connectors. Not tested at all.
BTW, there are no platform maintainers listed for these files. Setting
them should be enforced for the dts files as DT maintainers mainly
review binding docs, not dts files.
