At least Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt supports that, even if rt2x00 is a wireless driver. Unless I get any objections I'm planning to apply this to wireless-drivers-next (once it's open again). -- Kalle Valo -- 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
