Hi Rob What happens with other enumerable busses where a compatible string is not used? The Ethernet PHY subsystem will ignore the compatible string and load the driver which fits the enumeration data. Using the compatible string only to get the right YAML validator seems wrong. I would prefer adding some other property with a clear name indicates its is selecting the validator, and has nothing to do with loading the correct driver. And it can then be used as well for USB and PCI devices etc. Andrew
