Re: [PATCH v6 00/10] Add support for RaspberryPi RP1 PCI device using a DT overlay

[Phil Elwell <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrea,

The problem with this approach (loading an overlay from the RP1 PCIe
driver), and it's one that I have raised with you offline, is that
(unless anyone can prove otherwise) it becomes impossible to create a
Pi 5 DTS file which makes use of the RP1's resources. How do you
declare something as simple as a button wired to an RP1 GPIO, or fan
connected to a PWM output?

If this is the preferred route to upstream adoption, I would prefer it
if rp1.dtso could be split in two - an rp1.dtsi similar to what we
have downstream, and an rp1.dtso that #includes it. In this way we can
keep the patching and duplication to a minimum.

Thanks,

Phil
