Subject: Question regarding back compatibility for DT
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2017 16:58:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170321155814.GA10342@mai> (raw)

Hi Rob, dt people,

is it acceptable a driver is changed using a new DT binding but becomes
incompatible with the old DT files ?

IOW, is it possible to change the DT and the driver without supporting the old
DT format, forcing an update of the DT and the kernel ?

Thanks.
