What I was against in this particular case was it was just voltage for the domain and the devices had their own OPP with clocks described which looks really weird when both are represented as OPPs. I am fine with OPP representation in all such cases provide the bindings are well defined especially if they are hierarchical, what takes precedence, ...etc. -- Regards, Sudeep -- 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
