Ideally yes. This is obviously going to be used again. However; - My fear is that it will get confused with the 'sleep' property in Documentation/devicetree/booting-without-of.txt. - Secondly, you would need to get Rob to Ack it. --=20 Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org =E2=94=82 Open source software for ARM SoCs =46ollow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
