Ok, but it sure sounds like that.

Regarding "disabled", using that in a coherent way probably makes
sense. As for MMC, despite my efforts the DT binding development
turned out far from perfect. So during that time the good ideas
proposed may have accidentally been shot down together with the rest,
my apologies for that.
Now, would it be possible to make sure that all mach-shmobile I2C
descriptions follow the same style? I would like the SoCs to be
supported in the same way, not randomly - both then it comes to
compatbile string format and if "disabled" is used or not.

Good, thanks.
