This is there only on exynos5250.dtsi, so changing this file alone is enough. patch3 in this series have the same. > > The actual meat of the patch changing to a quirk scheme does look good, > though. > >> -- compatible : "samsung,i2s-v5" >> +- compatible : should be one of the following. >> + - samsung,s3c6410-i2s: for 8/16/24bit stereo I2S.

When I posted my previous version of patches I was clear which version introduced in which platform and again if I come back today and see I again had to search each SoC datasheet. So I think this patch now clearly explains what new support introduced in which version of IP and which SoC platform.
