It might make sense to add a subset of this to the kernel repository itself. But I'm not convinced that the kernel tree is the best place to host this kind of extended documentation. > It's also missing the options and examples for devicetree bindings... There is no real devicetree support in the driver yet. You can use the driver, but it will only work with the default pdata, which is not want you want in a lot of cases. There is also not compatible string for the device. > > Should I create the devicetree documentation instead of this patch? > I still think this patch is a better solution to prevent future problems > with the driver.
