From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Mark Rutland Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: explicitly mark skeleton.dtsi as deprecated Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2016 12:40:37 +0100 Message-ID: <1472730037-4972-1-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com> Return-path: Sender: devicetree-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org To: linux-arm-kernel-IAPFreCvJWM7uuMidbF8XUB+6BGkLq7r@public.gmane.org Cc: devicetree-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org, Mark Rutland , Rob Herring , Arnd Bergmann , Olof Johansson List-Id: devicetree@vger.kernel.org As noted in commit 3ebee5a2e141496b ("arm64: dts: kill skeleton.dtsi"), there are a number of problems with skeleton.dtsi, and it would be prefereable to remove it entirely. As there are a large number of existing users, fixing these up will take a while. This patch adds a note to arm's skeleton.dtsi noting that this is the case, to make this more obvious and hopefully minimize new uptake of skeleton.dtsi in the mean time.
