Hi Nate, For your future reference, patches that look at the device tree should also cc: devicetree-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that new bindings can be reviewed and common mistakes can be avoided. It is expected that new device tree bindings are accompanied with documentation describing what the binding is for and how it should be used (see Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings). I know this change is already in mainline, but can you please post the device tree fragment that you're using to describe this chip? I want to make sure we don't get stuck with things in the kernel that will be hard to maintain in the long term. Thanks, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
