You keep replying with the same arguments as before. I wrote that marketing, so how you call your devices and then change your mind, is not the valid rationale. > > Since you do not want us to modify the existing bindings, is it fine if > I just add a new compatible for ADC5 Gen2 and comments to indicate the > ADC7 compatible should be considered deprecated? No, because adc7 compatible is valid and there is no reason to replace it. Just because you changed naming does not matter for compatibles. It's just unique string, that's it. Don't touch it. > > If you are not convinced, we can drop the Gen2 name related changes from > the patch series. Feel free to add comments or descriptions, if you want to map some marketing name to real hardware or to compatibles. Best regards, Krzysztof
