Actually, there's no DT bindings doc at all for the >> 'ibm,opal-flash' device in mainline, is this normal? The binding doc is here: https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/blob/master/doc/device-tree/ibm%2Copal/flash.rst But that property is not documented :( We have some of the skiboot bindings also in the kernel tree, but there was talk of moving all the binding docs *out* of the kernel, so we never made an effort to put more in. I've lost track of whether there are still plans to move the binding docs out or not. cheers -- 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
