It should be possible to assign the correct names in the glue which translates the DT reg entries into the Linux resource structures. The difficulty with adding th enames to the DT itself is that it exposes the essentially Linux-specific names in what's supposed to be an OS neutral data structure. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
