Yes, that was the idea. I was already wondering how we would
differentiate that from "real" compatible strings, but couldn't find
convincing examples. So should that read:
- compatible: should at least contain be one of:
- "allwinner,sun4i-a10-pwm"
- "allwinner,sun5i-a10s-pwm"
- "allwinner,sun5i-a13-pwm"
- "allwinner,sun7i-a20-pwm"
- "allwinner,sun8i-h3-pwm"
May in addition contain one of:
- "allwinner,sun50i-a64-pwm"
- "allwinner,sun50i-h5-pwm"
- "allwinner,sun50i-h6-pwm"
And this would possibly need to be amended once we need to actually use
one of those strings (to implement a quirk, for instance)?
Or is there some other way of reserving those compatible strings, which
are not expected to be matched in drivers directly?
Cheers,
Andre.
