I don't hate the idea of leaving the extra memory regions in the dts. They do describe the hardware, after all, even if the main OS can't actually access those memory regions. ...though the same could also be said about the clock you've removed. Said another way: if you want to fully describe the hardware then the dts should have the extra memory regions and the clock. If you are OK w/ just describing the hardware in the way that the OS has access to then the dts should not have the extra memory regions and not have the clock. Does that sound right? If somehow you do end up with something like your patch, though, you're still missing a bit. Specifically, you don't want to "enable writing" a few lines below if you didn't get the clock, right? -Doug
