If you prefer that, then apply it - i just wanted to offer both options! One note though: as most systems will get "deploying" the rpi-foundation pre-build kernels and their corresponding device tree it seems unlikely that a lot of alternate dts will get used... So when they switch, then >99% of all users will be using the new code plus the new device-tree that handles that. That is why I see this as a good example of future bit-rot, where we have to maintain 20+ lines versus about 5 lines with just a message... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-spi" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
