I think, I was too optimistic about 3.19, but we can try. Since drivers will require adaptation, I'm not sure it will be merged for 3.19... If we really want to make the DT boot for 3.19, we could work and post the drivers adaptation patches and in parallel (to keep thing going for board files removal) prepare patches for adding the problematic stuff via quirks. This way we can keep only the DT missing functionality in quirks and remove the board files. Once the drivers are adjusted with new bindings, we can remove the quirks. Or if we are fine with keeping the board files for a little more, then just add the DT functionality that is ready and keep working on drivers until they are ready (hopefully, 1 - 2 releases). What do you think? -- Regards, Igor.
