I mean, what could possibly match that compatible string? The .name field will take care of naming the device does it not? For non-emergency merging though: Acked-by: Linus Walleij <linus.wall...@linaro.org> Since it matches the example in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/ab8500.txt But for this to make sense the AB8500 ADC driver needs to be augmented for DT probing and preferrably also moved to drivers/adc and made to utilize that subsystem.
