Based on feedback from Krzysztof I need to create a child node for gxp-timer. I therefore will remove this file and move gxp-wdt to the hpe,gxp-timer.yaml as a child node. >I have impression my feedback was about mapping entire address space, not few registers of watchdog: >https://lore.kernel.org/all/c6309ed8-6e74-67d3-304a-f5399d16cc37@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ >However later during talks it turned out that the address space is heavily shared. >Nick, >BTW, do you see my comments in the email I linked above? This v5 makes the same mistake. We talked about this already, so please make note of comments you receive and implement them. Krzysztof, Apologies, I did miss the comment about the double spacing around the label and the label not being necessary. I will not make this mistake again. I became focused about the comment of mapping an entire register space which indirectly lead me on to the path which I am now having the gxp-timer have the gxp-wdt as a child. To be specific the feedback I was speaking of above was about the gxp-timer which is here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/704ffa56-4bae-fc33-fddf-3e3dd8be0db9@xxxxxxxxxx/ That is the children must be defined for a simple-mfd device. Hence the plan I have now is to remove the hpe,gxp-wdt.yaml entirely and include it in the hpe,gxp-timer.yaml. I assume that is the correct thing to do? Thank you for your time and feedback, -Nick
