As I said, the devicetree MUST describe the hardware correctly, and on that I do agree, and I, again, said that I want to take the devicetree fix. However, the driver regressed, and this broke functionality with old device trees. Old device trees might have been wrong (and they are, yes), but functionality was there and the switch was working. I repeat, driver changes MUST be retro-compatible with older device trees, and your driver changes ARE NOT; otherwise, this wouldn't be called *regression*. Again, please fix the driver to be retro-compatible with old device trees. Regards, Angelo
