I assume from your statement, you don't agree, and think that interrupts must always be in a specific order, even if interrupt-names exists? If so, that'd make interrupt-names at least a bit useless and at worst horribly misleading, since people will assume it defines the order and that the order can be arbitrary. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
