I was assuming that given you changed the units the time was small enough to not be significant. >> Sorry, but this is exactly what I don't like about "simple" bindings: >> adding one property at a time. > > I understand you opinion, which in the end is a matter of taste/flavor. It's more than that. The problem is you would end up with a different binding if everything is defined up front versus reviewing one addition at a time. To give a trivial example here, now we have power on and off times in different units and if I was reviewing them together I would say make them both usec. That example is mostly taste, but different units also makes it more error prone for the dts writer. > However, for me this just follows the existing approach - and suddenly > say no to this, doesn't really seems right either. I never said no.
