The order in regards to which watchdog (watchdog 0, watchdog 1, etc) is paired with which timer is unimportant for purposes of the watchdog driver that I will follow up with. I can leave those details out of the bindings description if that resolves your concern. > Also, it feels odd for the proerty name to be singular given it's a list... You're right. Given what it is, it really should be nvidia,wdt-timer-ids. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
