If we do this, then the compatible field should probably be preceded with "linux,", which would get stripped by of_register_i2c_devices(). This would only be an interim measure until we can figure out some sort of name registry via power.org. Once that happens, non-"linux," compatible fields could be looked up in an OF-to-linux table, or there could be a way for i2c devices to specify OF matches in addition to driver name. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
