I already said what I think multiple times in this thread: the DT that has been merged for the early adopter, devs, whatever, won't be renamed. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care about the name that is picked for the new version as long as everyone is clear on the fact that that name won't change ever either.

Agree, that was more to support Pin64 guys here. As pinetab compatible can't be reused maybe somethings like this : sun50i-a64-pinetab.dtsi sun50i-a64-pinetab-1.0-early-adopter.dtb sun50i-a64-pinetab-1.0.dtb or sun50i-a64-pinetab-retail.dtb.

Then we can just keep confusing name? If we do so, how can we mark the new DT as "the user should use this one"?

Sorry maybe I missed some information But why don't you do like pinephone? sun50i-a64-pinetab-1.0.dts sun50i-a64-pinetab-1.1.dts -dev is also a confusing name I think, as the board has been already shipped.

I just ask Pine64 about this and here is the reply : "The PineTab LCD panel change was a last minutes before production starts that vendor advise us switch over to new LCD controller due to EoL concern". "Pine64 communication" is not so bad we just need to ask and they reply :) So the issue is not that the Product was not finalized but that one component arrives in EoL.

The first board that is shipped to a user. From the wiki, the version
supported here (I guess?) has been shipped to around 100 people, so it
doesn't really qualify for the "non-public prototype". We still have to
support these users, whether we like it or not.
> Without some guidance, or a change in policy, this problem is going to
> keep coming up again and again.
There's a few things that are interleaved here. First, there's two hard
rules: never change the DT name and never change the compatible of a
board.
The former would break any build system, boot script or documentation,
and the latter would break the DT compatibility.
Aside from this, things get a bit blurrier since it's mostly about the
intent. I'm fine with having a DT for a non-public prototype if it's
clear from day one that it is. In this particular case, the DT just
stated that support for the pinetab was added. I guess anyone would make
the assumption without any context that this would be for the (or a)
final design.
Finally, I'd also advise against submitting the parts that are still not
finalized though, because this is also fairly bad for the users. Let's
take the current situation as the example: from what I understand, the
screen changed half-way through the process, and the first one was
upstreamed. This means that any user that would use a kernel with that
bugfix would have the display working, while rolling back to 5.9 would
break the display, even though everyone claimed it was supported
out-of-the-box in mainline. This is a worse situation than not
supporting the display in the first place here.

Yes definitely. Pine devices may be worse though because of their policy
of making their prototypes public. I guess most of the issues we had
also were due to poor communication: context on what were the Pine
intentions were missing, and thus we couldn't catch things that turned
out to be bad later on during review.

What are you referring to? I couldn't find a commit where we did what
you suggested in that patch to the pine H64.

I don't think that was the intention at all. The DT was submitted for a
future product, whatever that future product ends up being at the time
of its release. Since there are necessarily no users until the product
ships, there is no chance of breaking users by modifying the DT.
>> what we (somewhat messily) did for the PineH64, for the pinephone, or

Surely a non-public prototype doesn't count as a separate revision! This
sort of policy strongly discourages ever shipping a board with
out-of-the-box mainline Linux support. Because if there any hardware
bugs fixed between initial upstreaming and production, the manufacture
must come up with a new DT name.
This is hostile to the users as well, because the "canonical" DT name no
longer matches the "canonical" (read: the only one ever available)
version of the hardware.
Do you want manufacturers to submit their initial board DT as
"$BOARD-prototype.dts", just in case they have to make a change before
production? And only after the board is shipped (with out-of-tree
patches, of course, to use $BOARD.dts, since the shipped board is *not*
the prototype) submit a "$BOARD.dts" to mainline?
Maxime, can you clarify specifically what the line is where a device
tree is "locked down" and further changes to the hardware require a new
name? First sample leaves the factory? $NUMBER units produced? First
sold to the public for money?
Without some guidance, or a change in policy, this problem is going to
keep coming up again and again.
You'll note that so far it has mostly affected Pine devices, and I don't
think that's because they make more board revisions than other
manufacturers. It's because they're actively involved in getting their
boards supported upstream. For other manufacturers, it's some user
sending in a device tree months after the hardware ships to the public
-- of course the hardware is more stable at that point. I think Pine's
behavior is something we want to encourage, not penalize.

To me, naming the production version anything but "pinetab" isn't
satisfying either.

Okay. But I'm not satisfied with a non-public sample occupies
the pinetab name. Is rename it to pinetab-dev and add a
pinetab-retail okay?

It's fairly simple really, we can't really predict the future, so any DT
submitted is for the current version of whatever board there is. This is
what we (somewhat messily) did for the PineH64, for the pinephone, or
really any other board that has several revisions

Oh the situation is complex. On Pine H64, we didn't specify anything at
start (which is the same here), the DT is originally version-neutral
but then transitioned to model B, then reverted to model A. Here the DT is
always
for the sample.
However, for Pine H64 there's model A/B names, but for PineTab there's no
any samples that are sold, thus except who got the samples, all PineTab
owners simply owns a "PineTab", not a "PineTab xxx version".
