No, I already provided arguments in two lengthy discussions - this is
not sorted by name.

Keep the same order as in previous device, so msm8916 for example. Or
any other, but listen to some requests to sort it by some arbitrary rule
which was never communicated by DT maintainers.

I don't think if you look through the history that you can find a
consistent rule that was used to arrange the registers.

So we are trying to have a consistent way of doing that. Thats why the
last number of additions have been sort by name, because it seemed to be
the most consistent.


Why are we discussing it again? You asked me the same here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/8f11c99b-f3ca-4501-aec4-0795643fc...@kernel.org/

and I already said - not sorting by name. You take the same order as
previous.

If you ever want to sort by name, answer to yourself:
NO. Take the same order as other existing device.

If you ever want to sort by value, answer to yourself:
NO.

You both came with some new, invented rules of sorting, applied it, and
now you claim that "existing devices were sorted like that". What? NO!

Best regards,
Krzysztof

OK.

Discussed this on Slack with Krzysztof.

8939 should be like 8916 because these are devices of a similar class.

x1e has a particular order if a new device x1e+1 comes along with a new register then

A new SoC with a significantly different architecture could have different ordering of regs.

The main block should go first which means the above should look like:

reg-names:
 23     items:
 24       - const: csid_wrapper
 25       - const: csid0
 26       - const: csid1
 27       - const: csid2
 28       - const: csid_lite0
 29       - const: csid_lite1
 30       - const: csiphy0
 31       - const: csiphy1
 32       - const: csiphy2
 33       - const: csiphy4
 34       - const: csitpg0
 35       - const: csitpg1
 36       - const: csitpg2
 37       - const: vfe0
 38       - const: vfe1
 39       - const: vfe_lite0
 40       - const: vfe_lite1

I think I personally haven't understood what was meant by "devices of a class" but its clearer now.

Appreciate the explanation.
