Apparently it's much easier. Absolutely not! It's ridiculous to have two drivers for the same exact device that are both device-tree enabled. It's already bad enough that we have fsl-ssi.c and imx-ssi.c. imx-ssi.c should never have been created, but there's no way I will approve enhancing imx-ssi.c to also support device trees, when fsl-ssi.c already does this. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale
