Just a subtle note here. If the binding is stabilized, I don't mind taking the dts changes. However, if we have time, I prefer to wait for the whole series to be hashed out. You never know which resolutions will end up revisiting the bindings you thought were good. :) So, it's technically not a requirement for the whole driver to be settled, but it is a good idea. thx, Jason. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
