So no change there then.

But again, we're *not* looking at a simplistic transliteration of properties. Where there *is* an "ACPI way", such as the GPIO example I gave, that should absolutely be used. And there should be sufficiently high-level access functions that it shouldn't *matter* to the driver whether the information is coming from ACPI or DT. > > In that sense, the HID is entirely orthogonal. > >=20 > > And think about it... we *really* don't want a given peripheral device > > to have *different* bindings depending on whether it's discovered with > > a specific ACPI HID, vs. when it's discovered via DT or the PRP0001 > > HID.

Aren't those optional? If nothing is provided, they are basically a no-op. AFAICT the existing patches for smsc911x don't touch that code at all. So whatever motivation you imagine there is for ACPI firmware vendors to "do things the DT way" is still there with the existing patches. Again, this is *orthogonal* to the question of whether the device is matched by PRP0001 + its compatible string, vs. a newly-invented HID. > > In some ways, your proposal would be actively *counterproductive*.

Where is the documentation for the INT_CFG_IRQ_POL_ bit in the INT_CFG register, that it controls? The documentation on the bindings really ought to live near that, in an ideal world. But that's still a non-sequitur in the context of this particular discussion. The patch that was posted *already* keeps that very same (optional) smsc,irq-active-high property.=20 Again, it isn't relevant to the question of whether the driver is matched via PRP0001 or a newly-allocated HID. The driver, as the patch was posted, *does* have the same set of properties with the same meanings =E2=80=94 because anything else would be insane. > The idea of registering a HID is to also have a process for getting > corresponding _DSD properties approved, published.

I'm all for requiring pre-existing DT bindings to be "vetted" by the nascent _DSD review process, before their use with PRP0001 can be 'blessed'. But in a world where people *are* going to go off and do their own insane thing, we really might as well let them use the *same* thing that we already had =E2=80=94 in as many cases as possible =E2=80=94 rather= than actually *making* them come up with a new insane thing all of their very own. --=20 dwmw2 --=-2ccnXGXTGqb7H1Hb/n9h Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s"
