So this is question for authors of that commit 84e0f1c13806. But it
looks like I cannot send them emails because of following error:
<Minghuan.Lian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>: connect to freescale.com[192.88.156.33]:25: Connection timed out
Do you have other way how to contact maintainers of that DTS file?
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/t1023rdb.dts
