You also must not compare pointers that way. You can use of_device_is_compatible(). > The DA9063 driver already associates "dlg,da9063-rtc" with both BB and AD > register maps. I think that altering the string at this point would break backwards > compatibility in the device tree for the DA9063. I'm not fond of the backward compatibility exactly for that kind of issue. The proper way to handle it is to have tow different compatible strings because obviously, the BB and AD variants are not compatible. -- Alexandre Belloni, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
