No, "SoC master ID" is completely independenf of SMR. > Also, for dynamic stream ID allocation we would need to represent the > specific master register (to store the stream ID) in the device tree. I assmue that the above means that iMX has such configuration register to map steramID and a device dynamically. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
