Oh well. Robin, A similar discussion was already done on v1 thread. Please see below for details: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-devicetree/20220317065925.GA9158@9a2d8922b8f1/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-devicetree/726bde76-d792-febf-d364-6eedeb748c3b@canonical.com/ And final outcome of discussion turns out to add this compatible string. I see people with different set of perspective in regard to whether keep compatible string or not. We should have some sort of evidences to support claims so that next time when similar situation arises, we'll be aware beforehand how to proceed. - Kuldeep > > Robin. > > > Signed-off-by: Kuldeep Singh > > --- > > Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/arm,arch_timer.yaml | 1 + > > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > > > diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/arm,arch_timer.yaml b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/arm,arch_timer.yaml > > index ba2910f0a7b2..ea390e5df71d 100644 > > --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/arm,arch_timer.yaml > > +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/arm,arch_timer.yaml > > @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ properties: > > - arm,armv8-timer > > - items: > > - enum: > > + - arm,cortex-a7-timer > > - arm,cortex-a15-timer > > - const: arm,armv7-timer _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
