We should always add "ti,omap3630" where "ti,omap36xx" is currently used so we can eventually get rid of "ti,omap36xx". And the same for 34xx. > * cover some out-of-tree DTS > => make the ti-cpufreq driver still match "ti,omap3430" or "ti,omap3630" > even if this duplicates compatibility > > This would mean that the logicpd-som-lv-37xx-devkit.dts gets the additional "ti,omap36xx" > while the omap3-ldp.dts would only get an "ti,omap34xx" but no "ti,omap3430" (since we > do not use it anywhere). > > Could you agree on this approach? Yeah sounds like logicpd-som-lv-37xx-devkit.dts currently still needs "ti,omap36xx" for now. If modifying omap3-ldp.dts, also add "ti,omap3430" in additon to "ti,omap34xx" that it already has. So basically let's assume the following: "ti,omap3430" == "ti,omap34xx" "ti,omap3630" == "ti,omap36xx" This means code needs to parse both. And eventually we just drop the "xx" variants. So while patching compatibles, let's also update for this to avoid multiple patches churning the same compatibles over and over. Regards, Tony
