OK, in the diffstat we're discussing we have this: drivers/gpio/gpio-tc3589x.c | 120 +++++++++++++++++++-------- drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-nomadik.c | 4 + drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c | 10 ++- drivers/mfd/tc3589x.c | 112 +++++++++++++++++++------ include/linux/mfd/tc3589x.h | 1 + > Inside of the platform code, I absolutely think we should change the > board file and the dts file simultaneously. Sure, no problem. But this patch series might have a title problem, as it is not isolated to the platform code at all. > When the driver offers > two ways of probing a device, this lets us change from one way to > the other without going through a phase where we use neither of them > or (worse) both at the same time. Maybe unrelated, but as usual it works as long as there are no DMA channels or callback functions :-/ The MMC, PL022 patches in this patch set: both need AUXDATA and DT data simultaneously due to DMA channels and callbacks passed in as AUXDATA.
