This needs a rewording please. See below for hw-description vs. driver, so the description should be centered around why this is a property of the hw [like faulty controller implementation or whatever] > > If "supports-cqe" is in mmc.txt, should "disable-cqe-dcmd" be there also? > > The file mmc.txt says on top: > "These properties are common to multiple MMC host controllers". > As my patchset introduces "disable-cqe-dcmd" just for sdhci-of-arasan, > I would say it should not go into that file. > > Also I wonder why "supports-cqe" is in mmc.txt, because > only sdhci-tegra.c is evaluating that property. > So I would expect it to be documented in > Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/nvidia,tegra20-sdhci.txt > > However, I see that "disable-cqe-dcmd" could go into other drivers as well. > But is this enough to document it in mmc.txt? Devicetree is always about describing the hardware capabilites and never about the actual nitty-gritty of driver implementation, aka it is not meant as a space for hardware-independent config-settings or such. As for only tegra evaluating this, is probably because it is still so new, like january 2019 and Rob explicitly suggested it becoming common [0], which suggests that the disable-cqe-dcmds should probably also be common.
