Presently, sdx55 and ipq9574 have the following reg/reg-names constraints. compatible | qcom,pcie-sdx55 | qcom,pcie-ipq9574 ----------------+-----------------------+------------------ reg minItems| 5 | 5 maxItems| 6 | 5 ----------------+-----------------------+------------------ reg-names | | minItems| 5 | 5 ----------------+-----------------------+------------------ maxItems| | 5 (6 for ipq5332) ----------------+-----------------------+------------------ items | | | parf | dbi | dbi | elbi | elbi | atu | atu | parf | config | config | mhi | (add mhi for ipq5332) ----------------+-----------------------+------------------ To make ipq9574 as fallback for ipq5332, have to add "mhi" to reg-names of ipq9574. Once I add that, the sdx55 and ipq9574 is the same list but in different order. If this would not be considered as duplication of the same constraint, then I can club ipq5332 with ipq9574. If this would be considered as duplication, then sdx55 and ipq9574 would have to use the same reg-names list and sdx55 or ipq9574 reg-names order would change. > > To overcome this, two approaches seem to be availabe > > > > 1.

Will be able to do that based on the answer to 'duplication' question and how to handle that. if (adding mhi to ipq9574 reg-names != duplication) /* Keep existing order */ * Append "mhi" to ipq9574 * use ipq9574 reg-names order for ipq5332 else * combine ipq9574 & sdx55 reg-names if (use sdx55 reg-names order) /* patchset v11 is using this approach */ * change ipq9574 * follow the same for ipq5332 else if (use ipq9574 order) * change sdx55 * follow the same for ipq5332 Please advice.
