Hi ChenYu,

Thanks for your comments.

I'm trying to understand you here, but I can't. Those 3 files changed are related each other. I could have separated the UART changes from I2C changes, but still those 3 files would have been modified at the same time for a single commit and "git patch-format" would still have created a single patch for the 3 files commit. 

Seeing all the patches that coming into the mailing lists, all of them contains multiple files patches, why should it be different here ?

If this is the official policy, then why so many DTS currently present are not following the same rules, such sun6i-a31-hummingbird, sun7i-a20-olinuxino-micro, sun7i-a20-mk808c, sun7i-a20-cubietruck and so many others ?

I thought the rules were there to make DTS the most default common usage definitions for most end-users in a general availability. 
Then, if someone is really in shortage of GPIOs, they could easily turn them back to "disabled" state.

Martin.
