And then when the new variant was created *hardware designers* decided to call the previous one "legacy". I couldn't care less what word was it, could be even "bublebee" from my point of view. > Again, this is _not_ how DT is supposed to work.

Describe the hardware, using terminology *used by the hardware designers* - fact that you have chosen to ignore, fair enough. > So, get rid of that 'legacy' crap in DT naming. It doesn't belong. Or > we'll start talling the Cortex-A5 stuff 'legacy' right now as well. As the compatible values will be limited to the tile name and the information about the motherboard "mode" will be passed through private node property, I will follow Dave's suggestion of using "empty value" for legacy/original/whatever variant. Hopefully this will end this topic which is already too long. Thanks for all comments!
