[PATCH v2 1/1] dt: binding: reword PowerPC 8xxx GPIO documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




re-format and re-word the device tree binding documentation for MPC8xxx
and compatibles, reference the common document for interrupt controllers
and remove outdated duplicate SoC specific information

changes in v2:
- s/CHIP/chip/ in 'compatible', s/and/or/ for the
  list of strings to use in 'compatible'
- "should be two" and "s/specific/available/ set of
  trigger conditions" in '#interrupt-cells'
- IRQ controller properties added to the 'gpio1' example node
  as it is referenced as one from 'funkyfpga'
