This looks generally sane to me. It's simple and doesn't seem to have
any of the usual problems bindings have.
For the mt6577, mt6589, and mt6582, Do you expect to have specific
strings like:
compatible = "mediatek,mt6589-uart", "mediatek,mt6577-uart";
If so, could you update the compatible description to something like:
- compatible: should contain:
* "mediatek,mt6589-uart" for ...
* "mediatek,mt6582-uart" for ...
* "mediatek,mt6577-uart" for all compatible UARTS (mt6589,mt6582,mt6577)
That way the driver just needs to recognise "mediatek,mt6577-uart" for
now but can have quirks later if we discover integration differences.
Cheers,
Mark.
