Rob,
You were fine with adding a new required property which breaks all existing DTBs?
This is a required property for the new bindings and optional for the older. Does it really need to be made optional in the binding?
Mhmm... that's an interesting point. I assumed that the bindings should reflect current status of the ABI, but I could imagine that you update the bindings while keeping the driver working with older DTBs.
How do you actually track then the ABI? If incompatible change can be added to the bindings, later anyone anytime can also update the driver to enforce the bindings. To require such property.
Best regards, Krzysztof
Were these bindings marked as unstable? The patchset does not even say/scream that it breaks the ABI, so this might be quite a surprise for someone...
Please see tegra_mc_interconnect_setup() in "memory: tegra-mc: Add interconnect framework" patch, which check presence of the new ICC DT property.
