Could you elaborate on this a bit? I can understand not modifying an
existing binding to make {reg,interrupt}-names required, but for
completely new bindings, why is this a problem?
Not allowing a binding to require these properties renders
platform_get_{resource,irq}_byname() useless for drivers which
exclusively use DT for enumeration. It also makes it impossible to make
a reg entry optional (although, there probably isn't a good usecase for
this).
Thanks,
Josh
