Re: Tegra DRM device tree bindings

Hello Thierry,

I still haven't found the time to look at device tree things in detail,
but still some comments inline. Overall I think the tree looks ok and is
a great thing to get started.

Do we really need this here? IMHO the GART is one kind of a IOMMU
managing a part of the bus where the host1x driver is hanging of. So I
can't see why we would need a pointer to the gart dev directly.
Though I may be off here, as I don't grok everything related to the
initiation order yet, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

We should not rely on OF code doing the instantiation of the children,
as expressed by Grant Likely. [1]
