This is especially Writing reserved bits of hardware registers is not a good practice and such behavior should be fixed. However in this particular case of power domains I don't see a need for fixing anything. After looking at the documentation and the code I see no improper use of currently supported power domains. Prathyush, could you please confirm that there are no currently supported power domains (defined in exynos*.dtsi device tree files) that need fixing? > bad, because it introduces a change in DT binding that is not needed yet > and might turn out to be insufficient for future SoCs. > > This patch will be okay, if a need for explicit mask specification shows > up in future, though.
