If nothing else as a general guideline this keeps us honest, and prevents us from embedding arbitrary implementation details into bidnings that cause pain later when we want to change things at either end. There are already otehr users of these bindings, so we can't really claim they're strictly Linux-specific anyhow. > Well that's certainly a point of view. As far as I am aware, it's the point of view shared by the device tree maintainers, and it's been that way for a while. I don't really follow your concern. For one thing were this followed more strictly this file wouldn't need patching at all to correct for this Linux-internal rework...
