NAK. This really isn't a good way to deal with this, even in a temporary basis. While assigning a DT node to a manually created platform device does solve that problem, it also introduces the problem that this platform device will now match any platform driver which recognises the "marvell,dove-lcd" compatible type, which may occur _before_ we find the driver to match using the legacy strings. There really isn't an easy solution to this other than doing the thing properly. The other problem in this series is that while you introduce some bindings which may work today, they're not going to work tomorrow, and that's a problem. Don't do DT piecemeal like this and end up having to break the bindings (which we will have to do to add the endpoints.) If you want to do this then you need to add the endpoints from the start even though the driver doesn't yet make use of them - or don't add the DT bits at all. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: now at 9.7Mbps down 460kbps up... slowly improving, and getting towards what was expected from it. -- 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/
