Any other opinions? If there are other voices who don't like it, we can change it. There is no in-tree dts file using this yet. How can a renaming be done? Would that involve changing the drivers (and module) name too? Or do we have the difference between "mcp" in the drivers name and "microchip" for device tree properties? In the latter case, I'd vote against it - if anyone cares. ;-) Lars -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
