Ha ha. :D The device tree standardization is driven with the bureaucratic ambition to be generic, predictable and non-personal. Mimicing the characteristic of the impersonal objects in life, such as the planets, or the plants. This is just an ambition, in reality the people doing it are Linux-heads. We (the DT community) try to be better people, we just fail regularly. That is OK, the important thing is to know one can and should do better. Yours, Linus Walleij
