This is another example of how the original bindings were incorrect and misleading. The LM3697 have 2 ramp implementations that can be used. Startup/Shutdown ramp and Runtime Ramp. Same Ramp rates different registers and different end user experience. So having a single node call ramp-up-msec is misleading and it does not indicate what the H/W will do. > > I'm not sure what other changes you did, and changelog does not tell > me. > >> --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/ti-lmu.txt >> +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/ti-lmu.txt >> @@ -9,7 +9,6 @@ TI LMU driver supports lighting devices below. >> LM3632 Backlight and regulator >> LM3633 Backlight, LED and fault monitor >> LM3695 Backlight >> - LM3697 Backlight and fault monitor >> >> Required properties: >> - compatible: Should be one of: > > NAK.
