Yes, I know. Didn't feel like it, because the patch is a WIP anyways (I haven't tested it but was included just for illustration purposes). If someone confirms that works then I will include a proper DT binding in the next revision. > Hence this may be a good time to deprecate the existing > "solomon,ssd130*fb-i2c" compatible values, and switch to > "solomon,ssd130*fb" instead, for both I2C and SPI. Is this the preferred approach ? Asking because most of the drivers I know use this -$bus suffix. From a device <--> driver matching point of view, shouldn't be an issue to have two different drivers to use the same compatible strings, as long as these are for different buses. Since AFAIK the match only happens within the same struct bus_type. But I wonder if this could cause issues in other places, for example the module loading. IIRC the OF modaliases don't include the device type. If instead the drivers were old platform drivers and have an i2c_device_id and spi_device_id tables, then using the same device name would not be an issue due the modalias having a i2c: and spi: prefix to make a distinction. What I think we should do is drop the "fb" part, since that seemed to me that was included because it was an fbdev driver.
