[Oops, I forgot to copy the list on my reply to Segher. Segher, sorry for the repeat.] Frankly Segher, it doesn't matter to me. However, NONE of the existing DTS files use upper-case stock ticker. I see no reason to deviate from the existing convention (even if that convention doesn't follow the previous convention of using upper-case). Since it seems that the convention for compatible property prefixes hasn't been decided yet, maybe it would be best for me to back out this patch and redo those that follow. I'll do that and repost the series. -Dale _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
