Actually, I don't want to disturb current dts hierarchy even though it looks strange. The common features of exynos5800 and exynos5422 should be in the exynos5800.dtsi because they shared many things except the cpu order. Please consider the exynos5422-cpu.dtsi is just board configurations to represent cpu order. -- Best Regards, Chanho Park -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
