No, I didn't. I got it via Kumar's next branch, and saw that it was
still in your fixes-for-grant branch, and didn't see any revert-related
e-mail activity on the devicetree-discuss list about it. I now see that
it was reverted directly in Linus's tree (I didn't see either the
original or the revert in Linus's tree when I checked, but apparently I
hadn't fetched that as recently as I thought).

Any particular reason for making that assumption? We should be avoiding
the need for .name or .type matching in new bindings, but this seems
like unnecessarily inconsistent behavior.
