Hello Robert,

I only see four dts files mentioned in your mail (solo using the same as
dual rev B1).

We do not know if imx6dl-wandboard.dts and imx6q-wandboard.dts
will support future revisions of the boards. So it doesn't make
much sense to mark them as restricted to revision C1.

You are right in that we should add a change to
imx6dl-wandboard-revb1.dts to the same patch.

Best regards

Heinrich Schuchardt
