So let's go back to my previous binding proposal describing all of them and having the qcom,drv-id property describe which one to use most of the time and hardcode the assumption to use DRV0 in the driver when we need to do things for sleep/suspend? Then we're back to describing the whole RSC and configuring the picker to pick the right DRV depending on firmware configuration. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
