analogous example: serial nodes use two properties; "clock-frequency" and "current-speed", one for clock frequency routed into the device and one for the current baud rate. It is completely relevant to put the effective clock frequency into the i2c device node. g. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
