IIRC that was an earlier iteration of the same thing - it's been round the houses a bit. extcon seemed like it might be a home since these are external connections from the system but in the end people didn't think it looked like a good fit. > In any case, it's not for you to describe, but Naresh, and in the > binding and commit messages.

I can drop it but I do think it's reasonable to be adding a vendor binding for this, we don't seem to have enough people engaged to scope out a generic binding confidently and TBH I've got a feeling we might want multiple application specific generic bindings when we do have one. --vDAwXomrZWqeNwU5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAmLQPCcACgkQJNaLcl1U h9DEBgf+J/Y7dk8DEHrQJtFF/LnqsspefWNtDoCzk9605TE7OMkEN/DoMoPx3MGI PquGaO4PeX3aaafpU8nZcyigot08jWuyxErEpSqZ0yslmNJEUMonozfsN/Gq8u0V Xf0BdyAK3o84Pw8qL5TFW0HUiTNo7R3eeqyD4lQMWFbeXMdfg3xXdyaIR4FvM43a kgHOwGQD5qRHTsvcc8ygqPD8iuk/Q6Ibrpx8BkGcXuItdocOoGILYKjrtQTX6UE9 Yf8AqAauqnSs8tklzuWJqJeUCGc6XdtTcM1H2fZruFPXd/O8lAwgH3//3ELOQHJb 3DET4qkGY9ewa4aoDGZ4nA2L2ZGg6g== =QhX7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vDAwXomrZWqeNwU5--
