Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: simplefb: Drop the advice about using a specific path for nodes
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2014 11:34:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1416224086-5698-2-git-send-email-hdegoede@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1416224086-5698-1-git-send-email-hdegoede@redhat.com>

This goes contrary to how devicetree usually works, so drop it. Instead if
the firmware needs to be able to find a specific node it should use a
platform specific compatible + properties for this.

-If pre-filled framebuffer nodes are used, they should be named
