[PATCH 0/4] ARM: dts: allwinner: Fix remaining DT validation errors

[Chen-Yu Tsai]

Hi folks,

This series gets rid of the remaining DT validation errors for Allwinner
(sunxi) ARM 32-bit device trees. The patches are self explaining.

I plan to take all four patches through the sunxi tree.

[PATCH 1/4] dt-bindings: media: sun4i-a10-video-engine: Add interconnect properties

[Chen-Yu Tsai]

The Allwinner video engine sits behind the MBUS that is represented as
an interconnect.

Make sure that the interconnect properties are valid in the binding.

[PATCH 2/4] dt-bindings: pinctrl: sunxi: Allow pinmux sub-pattern with leading numbers

[Chen-Yu Tsai]

The pattern for pinmux node names is typically the peripheral name and
instance number, followed by pingroup name if there are multiple options.

Normally the instance number is directly appended to the peripheral
name, like "mmc0" or "i2c2". But if the peripheral name ends with a
number, then it becomes confusing.

On the A20, the PS2 interface controller has two instances. This
produces pinmux node names like "ps2-0-pins". Make the sub-pattern
"[0-9]-" valid to fit this pattern. Avoid having to confusing "ps20-pins"
name.

[PATCH 3/4] ARM: dts: allwinner: sun5i-a13-utoo-p66: delete "power-gpios" property

[Chen-Yu Tsai]

The P66's device tree includes the reference design dtsi files, which
defines a node and properties for the touchpanel in the common design.
The P66 dts file then overrides all the properties to match its own
design, but as the touchpanel model is different, a different schema
is matched. This other schema uses a different name for the GPIO.

The original submission added the correct GPIO property, but did not
delete the one inherited from the reference design, causing validation
errors.

Explicitly delete the incorrect GPIO property.

[PATCH 4/4] ARM: dts: allwinner: Replace status "failed" with "fail"

[Chen-Yu Tsai]

The device tree bindings specify using "fail", not "failed".

Fix up all the ones that are wrong.

While patch indeed fixes the issue, I wonder if "fail" is proper value?
According to specs, it means that device needs repair. What about just
keep "disabled"?

It's v1 and not a resend, thus subsystem patches should go via subsystem
trees.
