The hotplug detect GPIO in the current bindings use "-gpio" as suffix, whereas the standard suffix is the plural: "-gpios". This small series replaces this in three steps to preserve bisectability:

• Patch 1 adds new nvidia,hpd-gpios properties to existing device tree files while marking existing nvidia,hpd-gpio ones as deprecated.
• Patch 2 makes use of the new property name in the driver and updates the device tree bindings.
• Patch 3 removes the deprecated properties from device tree files.

Since this touches both DRM and Tegra trees, I've prepared a stable branch[0] that can be pulled into both trees to make the transition easier.

What's the real benefit to this series? After all you are breaking existing devicetrees here, as the driver doesn't continue to recognize the old name. IMHO adding a missed 's' to the property name isn't enough reason to do this.
