Hi there, When I was trying to create dts for my platform that need PCI DeviceTree sub node to express interrupt of children devices under the bridge, like this: pci@1a000000 { compatible = "loongson,ls7a-pci"; device_type = "pci"; #address-cells = <3>; #size-cells = <2>; #interrupt-cells = <2>; msi-parent = <&msi>; reg = <0 0x1a000000 0 0x02000000>, <0xefe 0x00000000 0 0x20000000>; ranges = <0x01000000 0x0 0x00020000 0x0 0x00020000 0x0 0x00020000>, <0x02000000 0x0 0x40000000 0x0 0x40000000 0x0 0x40000000>; ohci@4,0 { compatible = "pci0014,7a24.0", "pci0014,7a24", "pciclass0c0310", "pciclass0c03"; reg = <0x2000 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>; interrupts = <49 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; interrupt-parent = <&pic>; }; }; I got such checkpatch warnings: WARNING: DT compatible string "pci0014,7a24.0" appears un-documented -- check ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ #206: FILE: arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/ls7a-pch.dtsi:38: + compatible = "pci0014,7a24.0", WARNING: DT compatible string vendor "pci0014" appears un-documented -- check ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.yaml #206: FILE: arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/ls7a-pch.dtsi:38: + compatible = "pci0014,7a24.0", Just wonder if using such compatible string is allowed? I've saw some some usages like mine in the tree, such as arch/x86/platform/ce4100/falconfalls.dts, and arch/mips/boot/dts/img/boston.dts. If that's allowed, should we surpress these warnings in checkpatch script? Thanks. -- Jiaxun Yang
