I agree this is a limitation. To expand a bit on what Alan said. For the last year(?) or so we've been reviewing / reiterating patches to do that using device tree overlays. Rob was ok with the last round of bindings so it looks like it is moving in the right direction. The part that's missing in the whole spiel is a way to apply overlays from userland (which in turn then trigger the reconfiguration of the regions). Pantelis has a patchset that allows doing this using a configfs interface; however the devicetree maintainers weren't too happy with it. At ELCE Pantelis and me talked to Frank about the patchset and Pantelis agreed to resubmit the patchset with small changes. TL;DR we'll eventually get there but it takes time and many rounds of review :) Cheers, Moritz -- 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
