I didn't check you gave a comment to Hoegun do rework this patch series. I just checked reviewed-by from Andrzej H. and thought no problem. Ideally you are right. DT changes should be no any dependency of driver changes but now Exynos DT is broken. So if we have to keep the bisectability between driver and device tree patches - this means that all drivers should always keep the backward compatibility - then the drivers will be messed up. About this, we had a discussion and I think you agreed, https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9477957/ Do you want the backward compatibility to be kept always when new dt binding relevant patch - which fixes up the wrong usage of dt binding - is posted? It would be good for the backward compatibility to be kept as long as we can do but there would be several cases to make the driver to be messed up like this patch series. > 4 .
