Hello Vaishnav,

I should say, an excellent work on the greybus_manifest.h file.

Actually, my thoughts will be to have a two-stage commit of the whole
MikroBUS patch.

The first one are these changes with greybus_manifest.h, followed by
dependent mikrobus_core.h and mikrobus_manifest.h.

These two should have included #include
<linux/greybus/greybus_manifest.h> to reflect the correct hierarchical
structure.

The rest is with the mikrobus driver .c code.

It is just an observation from me, I guess, it is obvious.

My two cent worth comment,
Zoran
