I will take a note for the next patch series to add any missing people. The current
list of people/group is what historically helped review this new timestamp/hte subsystem.

Refer to patch https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/timestamp/patch/20230214115553.10416-3-dipenp@xxxxxxxxxx/
which has compatible properties added and also code changes to reflect addition/deletion of some
properties.

I am not sure I have understood about ABI break comment. How else one should handle if
there is no related gpio controller property found? I am assuming you are referring to the
below code from the patch 2 (link above) when you said "return -ENODEV".


-		hte_dev->c = gpiochip_find("tegra194-gpio-aon",
-					   tegra_get_gpiochip_from_name);
+		gpio_ctrl = of_parse_phandle(dev->of_node,
+					     "nvidia,gpio-controller", 0);
+		if (!gpio_ctrl) {
+			dev_err(dev, "gpio controller node not found\n");
+			return -ENODEV;
+		}
+
+		hte_dev->c = gpiochip_find(gpio_ctrl,
+					   tegra_get_gpiochip_from_of_node)
