![]() As noted here [1], there are potentially future conflicts if we try to use MTD's "partitions" subnode to describe anything besides just the fixed-in-the-device-tree partitions currently described in this document. Particularly, there was a proposal to use this node for the AFS parser too. It can pose a (small) problem to try to differentiate the following nodes: // using binding as currently specified partitions { #address-cells = <x>; #size-cells = <y>; partition@0 { ...; }; }; and // proposed future binding partitions { compatible = "arm,arm-flash-structure"; }; It's especially difficult if other uses of this node start having subnodes. So, since the "partitions" node is new in v4.4, let's fixup the binding before release so that it requires a compatible property, so it's much clearer to distinguish. e.g.: // proposed partitions { compatible = "fixed-partitions"; #address-cells = <x>; #size-cells = <y>; partition@0 { ...; }; }; [1] Subject: "mtd: create a partition type device tree binding" http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20151113220039.GA74382@google.com http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2015-November/063355.html http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2015-November/063364.html Cc: Michal Suchanek <hramrach@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Acked-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> |
