Would it be possible to invert all the current in-kernel uses to represent a supplied_from/by model instead? That would mean the proposed DT binding would then represent the same relationship ordering as the kernel code, which would be easier to handle. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
