Normally the DTS is written based on the binding document and the driver is written also to follow the binding document. However in this case we have a broken/inaccurate binding document and the existing DTS files and binaries in wild have deviated (there are boards out there using qnx or BSD and use this binding), or to be precise the binding document was not updated. The existing DTS files are the ABI, so we cannot deviate from them, unfortunately. In this case the DTS / driver needs to be reverse engineered to create a binding document. To note: I'm also guilty of not updating the .txt file. > Mention any changes done in the > binding which deviate from pure conversion of TXT->DT schema. > > https://social.kernel.org/notice/Ai9hYRUKo8suzX3zNY > > Best regards, > Krzysztof > -- Péter
