[PATCH v2 5/5] dt-bindings: Update the isa string description

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The yaml documentation description of isa strings section doesn't
specify anything about the case sensitiveness of the isa strings.
The RISC-V specification clearly specifies it to be case insensitive.
However, Linux kernel supports only lower case isa strings.

Update the yaml documentation accordingly to avoid any confusion.
