Mixing strings and integers in a property isn't "allowed" (by convention of DT bindings reviewers - as you noticed, dtc will happily compile it); there are practical issues with attempting to do so, such as causing the integer values to be unaligned, and thus causing the current integer parsing code to fail, etc. _______________________________________________ devicetree-discuss mailing list devicetree-discuss@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/devicetree-discuss
