Today's linux-next merge of the arm-soc tree got a conflict in
arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-bone.dts between commit 97238b35d5bb
("usb: musb: dsps: use proper child nodes") from the tree and
commit 63f6b2550aa0 ("ARM: dts: AM33XX: don't redefine OCP bus and
device nodes") from the arm-soc tree.
I fixed it up (probably incorrectly - see below) and can carry the
fix as necessary (no action is required).
You added the OCP node back and the USB nodes as I had them which
should be fine.
How do we solve the conflict for the merge window? Is it possible for
the ARM-SOC tree to create a topic branch for this commit?
Greg: I do have a pending pull / patches [0] which also change the dts
nodes according to the latest feedback + enabling an additional USB
port in bone.
If you take this in I could update the nodes later (with the topic
branch merged) accordingly to the way it has been done in the ARM-SOC
tree - unless you have other preferences.
I think that the proper way to handle this is to split the patch-set
in two and merge all the OMAP DT related changes
(arch/arm/boot/dts/am*) through Benoit's tree and the USB changes
(drivers/usb/*) through Greg tree to prevent these kind of merge
conflicts.
Yes. DT patches are an endless source of merge conflicts if they are
merge throught different trees.
What was discussed with Olof and Arnd during Connect is that we should
avoid merging DT patches outside arm-soc tree to avoid that kind of
situation.
Regards,
Benoit
