Correct, because one is for the SoC and board as a whole, the other is for some subset of the SoC handled via drivers/soc - for example, with Broadcom, there's a Raspberry PI power domain driver in drivers/soc, which is described by Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/bcm/raspberrypi,bcm2835-power.txt whereas Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/bcm/brcm,bcm2835.txt describes the bindings for the root DT node BCM2835 as used on the Raspberry Pi amongst other boards. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 12.1Mbps down 622kbps up According to speedtest.net: 11.9Mbps down 500kbps up
