Tim disagrees. >> Guenter, My issue regarding the vendor prefix was not a hard dissagreement but was more about me understanding the rational behind using vendor prefixes. In this case the imx2_wdt driver 'is' a vendor specific driver as its compatible strings are prefixed with 'fsl,' so isn't 'any' property added to devicetree/bindings/watchdog/fsl-imx-wdt.txt inherently a vendor specific properly already? I assume that is why the 'big-endian' property isn't 'fsl,big-endian'. Maybe it's more about if it 'is' marked as a vendor specific property its much easier to get approval and accepted by a vendor-specific maintainer? >> So we have two options: Change the property name to fsl,ext-reset-output, >> which I would accept, or wait for a devicetree maintainer to make a decision. > > Guenter, > > I agree with you on this point.
