You are neither maintainer for any subsystem that is involved nor have you contributed technical arguments pro/con and it appears to me that you refuse to listen to my argumentation. > asking "device tree maintainer opinion", and then just simply ignoring > it when he does not like it, and then making promises he did not keep. Which promises did I not keep? Please be specific, instead of insulting. I bring up this alternative again, since I get the impression that most readers are simply not aware of *both* alternative proposals. > Please don't stall patches just because of that. Please provide better arguments and don’t spread FUD.
