This has been discussed many times before and the suggested solution is always what you implemented here - make the code deal with both versions, preferably by patching. The fact that you had to export the of_ operations indicates that no-one has tried this before and I'm happy you did. I'm however not happy about the size of the chunk of code it takes to do this dance. I think for this to be practical we need to provide higher level operations for DT modification - in this case a of_rename_property(). @Rob, any comments on this? > Anyway, I have given all sorts of inputs to arrive at a clean solution > in both remoteproc core and this driver.
