(Luca tried previously to upstream wl12xx DT support along with the required clock DT changes, but got some rejections, mainly wrt. clock stuff. e.g. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1520752 that's why i preferred starting with "easier" wl18xx bindings only) Eliad. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
