For SoC internal video bus muxes that are controlled by a register bitfield, it seems a bit strange to have to split them into two device tree nodes. Basically I'm trying to figure out whether a video mux (which has a mux control plus OF-graph bindings to describe its ports and connections) would fit into the same category as an adc-mux or i2c-mux, or whether it would be better to handle them as a specialized form of mux-controller. regards Philipp -- 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
