The problem is that the DT is supposed to be separate to the kernel and the decisions can depend on what the kernel is currently capable of.

completely agreed.
I don't see any issue with leaving some things out of the DT bindings; you were the one raising that as a concern.
The problem is, that there doesn't seem to be a clean way to embed *board data* into the kernel with DT, if left out of the DT bindings. There is the auxdata way of still attaching platform_data, but that I thought was a stopgap for just handling function pointers. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
