How about: if (of_property_read_bool(op->dev.of_node, "fsl,external-dma-control-signals")) { dma_cap_set(...); ... } else { dma_cap_clear(...); } Shortening the property name would also help (e.g. "fsl,dma-ext-ctrl"). I assume nothing bad will happen (other than performance loss) if the updated driver is used with an existing device tree, and thus none of the channels get DMA_SG? Is there any need to explicitly clear the capablitity in the else path? Wouldn't it be clear by default? -Scott -- 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
