Compared to da830-rtc compatibility am3352-rtc is more compatible to
the one in am437x. Hence adding the am3352-rtc compatible to cover the
entire feature set.
The ti,am4372-rtc has no Documentation and not used even in the driver
hence removing it.
why don't you do the inverse ? Document am4372-rtc and make driver use
it ?
am3352-rtc suffices for am4372 too. No need to add additional one for
am4372.
Until we end up needing it, right ? :-)
Besides, it's already used in a DTS. What happens if someone branched
>from that DTS and ships that in a product. RTC will just stop working
for them. Sure, it wasn't documented, but that's a problem of commit
73456012734b80442b33916406cfd13bf1b73acb (ARM: dts: AM4372: add few
nodes) which, essentially, added that compatible flag without
documenting it.
BTW, this compatible has been in tree since August 2013, IMO it's unfar
to drop it just like that. Documenting it would be a better approach.
Okay. Can you point me to a file which is already accessing it in dts?
Accessing what ? Also, once DTS reaches a major kernel release, it's
deemed stable and should be supported. Are we dropping that ?
I meant getting used in any other dts files than the one i just dropped it.
how can you ever know that for sure ? There are already quite a few
third party platforms based on AM437x, how can you be sure those
companies don't have their own DTS ?
Felipe,
If that is a concern i can re-do this.
Tony,
Shall i re-do this patch without removing am4372-rtc? If you can drop
this i can re-do without removing the original am4372 compatible.
Regards,
Keerthy
