IIRC, the rule for "reg" is that entries must always have a defined order, so that it can always be accessed by integer index. And given that's true, allowing for reg-names just creates confusion since it implies you can look up the index in reg-names and then read reg at that index. Now the same isn't true for clocks/clock-names for example, where it's defined that there is no order, so you must search clock-names first. Inconsistency in rules, uggh. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
