We can probably remove the entry from there as well, though. As far as I can tell, the same holds for Tegra30, which is also backwards compatible with Tegra20 but the DTS doesn't contain the Tegra20 compatible. So to keep ABI compatibility we'll need to keep the nvidia,tegra30-dc in the driver's match tables, but I could still update the DTS to include the nvidia,tegra20-dc for correctness. Does that make sense? Thierry
