Yes, DT describes the hardware, and as I've said a couple times already, this isn't hardware description. I'm not forcing people to use module parameters. That was a least-effort suggestion to avoid abusing the DT. I later said I'd try to come up with a patch that allocates regions dynamically (and most likely doesn't use UIO at all). > I can understand not liking the name "uio" in a dt tree, but there's no > reason that DT can not describe what a driver binds to here. The DT already describes this hardware, and there is already code that binds to it. This patch is trying to add a second node for it with configuration. -Scott
