Yes, we need to agree on DT. I sent the patch based on the patches came 
from TI/Slimlogic and other discussion about DT patches.
Recently, you commented on  DT for palmas, it need to  be completely IP 
based or hw based. Mix will not work.
If it is IP based then almost all palmas-* file need to be rewrite, no 
one is written as IP based. All are using palma structures, palma 
header, palma macro etc
which should not be there.

I have not added then on my original patch as 
./script/get_maintainers.pl did not give me name.
However, you added immediately them (TI and slimlogic) on this patch 
itself. I have not got any feedback from them yet.
