However, I do have a question... Hmmm.

I was a little nervous about potentially having some *.dts be primary source files, and others be derived from *.dtsp (assuming that we convert platforms to this new feature as desired, rather than en-mass). It seems like it'd just cause confusion; people might just end up accidentally editing a *.dts that was generated without realizing it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
