- Are the OF entries in uevent part of the ABI or not? Can we have that documented anywhere? There are very few mentions in the official kernel doc - Documentation/ABI/ Obviously it doesn't mention anything OF_* but it neither does DRIVER or MODALIAS. Yet if we change those $world will break ;-) - How can we distinguish in the (perhaps hypothetical) case when there's two or more etnaviv devices?
