Hi Chen-Yu,

I had a look at github tree from Hans with your DT support patch for
brcmfmac. I applied it to my 3.14 tree and modified it a little. I guess
the bindings are still experimental, but I would prefer you to use brcm
instead of broadcom in the 'compatible' entry as found in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt. There is an
exception to this rule in the bindings (in net/broadcom-bcm87xx.txt),
but I guess that train has left and it is tricky to change it now.
In the brcmfmac patch you also use multiple of_device ids. Could we make
it more generic, ie. compatible = "brcm,brcmfmac" or "brcm,wifi-fullmac"
or whatever...

Regards,
Arend
