If so, I can fold it in. It hasn't been merged yet. Technically this patch is a prerequisite for getting the new binding merged. And there's a specific order that needs to be observed for this not to regress (albeit only temporarily). The correct sequence for merging this would be: 1) XUSB pad controller binding & driver updates 2) PCI driver updates 3) DT changes that implement the new binding Because of the above I'd prefer to merge everything through the Tegra tree. If that's okay with you, I can provide stable branches once its all in place for you to merge back into the PCI tree. > Is there a benefit to keeping this binding patch separate from the > corresponding driver patch?

I think separate patches is (or was?) preferred because eventually the DT bindings were supposed to get moved to a separate repository. Having separate patches would make the transition easier by making it possible to cherry-pick between trees. Thierry
