I agree it is not worth ripping out existing support only to add it back in.

Yes, and without this change they could also read the documentation. Your doing a v2 anyway, it seems trivial to fix this at the same time. regards, Peter. -- 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
