Hi Sakari,

Thanks for taking a look

Sure, I'll merge those into my base.

Well then that pretty much dashes my chances on not parsing the DT in the ADV
driver.

Ahem, I clearly can't read ;-)
I think my mindset was thinking strcmp or something...

Actually - I was 'trying' to prevent having to parse the DT in the adv748x
driver if I didn't need to.

Once I have to parse the DT, then yes, I think storing the endpoint node is
probably the best thing to compare against.

And actually - you might have just solved my open question in the cover letter ...

I had got stuck in my mindset that if I were to use the endpoint 'leaf' node as
a comparator - that it would be 'instead' of the root node.

But actually - it could just be root-node + leaf-node to compare, which then
allows us the fallback of comparing just the root nodes if the leaf isn't set.

I'll respin with this either tomorrow or early next week.
