Otherwise these are not IDs and you are not > expected to put register offsets into the bindings (you do not bindings > in such case). Why is it not an IDs if it not continuous in the bindings ? If there is technical reason, we'll probably end up exposing everything. It would not be a dramatic change. I asked for this over v1 because we have done that is the past and I think it makes sense. I'm happy to be convinced to do things differently. Just looking for the technical reason that require contiuous exposed IDs. The other IDs exists, but we do not expose them as bindings. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/clk/meson/gxbb.h#n125 > > >> Same has been done for the other AML controllers: >> For ex: >> >> https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/dt-bindings/clock/gxbb-clkc.h > > This cannot be fixed now, but it is very poor argument. Like saying "we > had a bug in other driver, so we implemented the bug here as well". I agree, "done before" is not a good argument. I was trying to provide a better picutre. I'm just surprised to have this new requirement that IDs have to be incremented by 1 (in the bindings) and I'd like to understand why what we had done could be considered a bug now. For example the simple-reset driver compute the reset offset from the IDs: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/reset/reset-simple.c There might be holes in the IDs if not all bits have reset maps. I don't think that would be a bug either. > > Best regards, > Krzysztof
