New, added properties cannot be required. That's an ABI break.
This is handled in driver code to make sure driver works with old dts
as well. So is this bindings change fine or shall I change it such that
dt bindings check shall pass with older dts as well?
Or as mentioned by Dmitry, I can update the commit message to reflect
that ABI change is intended and driver is compatible with older DTBs as
well.
Hi Rob,
Can you please confirm how shall I go in next version?
Is it fine for dt bindings check to fail if driver is compatible with
old as well as new dts? Or dt bindings check shall pass with old as
well as new dts?
The driver works fine without reg-names and accepts old DTB, right? In
such case, just mention this in commit msg, that the bindings require
reg-names but backwards compatibility will be preserved in the driver. I
think it's fine to alter bindings such way.
Thanks for confirming Krzysztof. I'll send v8 with this information.
Best regards,
Krzysztof
