The clock properties are well defined for the different modes that can be specified in the format property. It's up to the driver to translate this to driver specific settings. If two drivers behave differently for the same mode one of them (or both) are broken. We should probably add the definitions for the different formats to the DT bindings. E.g. what is default, what is inverted polarity, etc. - Lars -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
