It's a bit better, yes. Although it's still a little difficult to read. In fact, I can't even recommend a suitable alternative, since I still do not understand exactly what it is you're trying to say. > >+ > >+-maxim,enable-sleep: Boolean, enable sleep state of PMIC > >We already have bindings for sleeping.

The situation is exacerbated by one of the key examples is using the property with cells expected i.e. non-bool. --=20 Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org =E2=94=82 Open source software for ARM SoCs =46ollow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
