So the idea would be to add any new (specific) compatible string to that list then, when we add them? I guess this would work, but strictly speaking any current driver would then only need to check this property for the R329 type? The Linux driver proposed in the next patch *always* honours the allwinner,pwm-channels property, which is IMHO the right way to implement this. And that's why I think the binding should reflect that, and not explicitly *forbid* the property for every one other than R329 (atm). With the current Linux driver, a potential new SoC using: "allwinner,sun20i-d2-pwm", "allwinner,sun20i-d1-pwm"; allwinner,pwm-channels = <6>; would work without driver changes. A driver strictly written to this binding here might not, though, as it would be free to ignore the pwm-channels property. Does that make sense? So to encourage future compatibility, can we drop the "else" branch? > > If we would leave this else branch out, we could just specify some > > number differing from the default, and be good. > > If it were compatible with the d1, then the "then:" branch would apply, > provided you used the fallback correctly. > > Although if the number of > channels were different, we'd likely end up with modifications here to > limit it to the correct values for each soc. That's fine, because this just affects the bindings (and the DT), but doesn't require any driver changes, which take months to trickle into distributions, not to speak of LTS distros. A DT can be updated independently.
