Commit 4e5e4705bf69 "thermal: introduce device tree parser" introduced the text below into Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal.txt: > * The thermal-zones node > > The "thermal-zones" node is a container for all thermal zone nodes. It shall > contain only sub-nodes describing thermal zones as in the section > "Thermal zone nodes". The "thermal-zones" node appears under "/". This implies that software must find the thermal-zones node by node name. Node names aren't supposed to be significant in DT. Rather, software is supposed to bind to a node by searching for all nodes with a particular value in the compatible property. While there are some legacy counter-examples such as /aliases, /chosen, and /cpus, I don't think we should propagate any more of these in new bindings. Can this mistake in the binding definition be rectified, or is it too late? -- 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
