I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. These bindings are specific= =20 to the ST-Ericsson driver and are localised, hence the 'stericsson,'=20 vendor prefix. If you think other drivers might be able to make use of=20 them then we can make them official i2c bindings and drop the 'stericss= on,'. >> Arnd, since you committed the patches, can you please comment?

We would never have to support them forever. Even if they were deemed t= o=20 be incorrect, or some other vendors wanted to use the same bindings, we= =20 would just send a patch fixing them. > I've dropped the ux500/dt branch for now. and will wait for a new one > to get submitted as a replacement.

I'll re-send the pull-request=20 (less the i2c stuff) when we have an Ack from Sam on the AB8500=20 documentation patch. --=20 Lee Jones Linaro ST-Ericsson Landing Team Lead M: +44 77 88 633 515 Linaro.org =E2=94=82 Open source software for ARM SoCs =46ollow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
