Extra properties are not needed as the frequency of the source clock is fixed, there is not external divider beyond what the driver already works with, and the clock source can not be selected.

Something like: compatible: Should be "fsl,<processor>-flexcan" and "fsl,flexcan". An implementation should also claim any of the following compatibles that it is fully backwards compatible with: - fsl,p1010-rdb > What would be the use of it in that implementation? It limits the number of compatibles a driver has to care about, so you don't need a huge ID table just to be able to figure out whether this is a p1010-style flexcan or ARM-style. -Scott ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

It refers to a particular version of the flexcan logic, for which the hardware doc people weren't kind enough to give us a public version number.
