I'd classify that as "additional required properties for brcm,bcm2836-armctrl-ic" ... and with different compatible values for the two chips, you would know when probe() should require vs. reject the property. -- 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
