No objections from my side. In fact that's how I wanted it to be from the beginning, but the DT people wanted a separate compatible value (and a separate driver). The only difference is the presence of pm_runtime_*() calls. > I think SIMPLE_PM_BUS config should just go away and we should compile > the driver in if CONFIG_OF is selected. I think there would be no need for a separate driver, if the standard simple-bus handling would take care of it.
