We have DT bindings for *hardware*, not for drivers. As stated in Documentation/devicetree/usage-model.txt: "The "Open Firmware Device Tree", or simply Device Tree (DT), is a data structure and language for describing hardware. More specifically, it is a description of hardware that is readable by an operating system so that the operating system doesn't need to hard code details of the machine." "2.1 High Level View ------------------- The most important thing to understand is that the DT is simply a data structure that describes the hardware." -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
