This justification suggests clearly it is not a property for DT. > Yup, the argumentation in the commit message is from the wrong perspective. bindings are OS agnostic hardware description, and what driver does with the description is driver's problem. I will at least paraphrase my understanding: In this case, however, the hardware block will limp along with the usage of DDR (as is the current description), due to the latencies involved for DDR accesses. However, the hardware block has capability to use a substantially lower latency SRAM to provide proper performance and hence for example, deal with higher resolution data streams. This SRAM is instantiated at SoC level rather than embedded within the hardware block itself. -- Regards, Nishanth Menon Key (0xDDB5849D1736249D) / Fingerprint: F8A2 8693 54EB 8232 17A3 1A34 DDB5 849D 1736 249D
