Add a compatible string that uniquely identifies what the block is.

Design decisions in the OS should not define the binding.

'syscon' alone is not valid. You need SoC specific compatible string for it and 'stm32' is not SoC specific. IOW, the compatible property for a syscon should imply every single register field in the block. > > Rob -- 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
