so what ? We're not here to choose the easy approach, we're here to
choose the 'right' approach. If that means rewritting a bunch of
chipidea core code, so be it.

yeah yeah, but that's just because chipidea core doesn't understand DT.

It should take you no more than a day to teach it about DT, though. Not
sure what you're complaining about.

which DT node are you talking about ? you want chipidea core to have
access to glue's DT node ? Are you insane ?

Currently your regulator only belongs to glue because chipidea core
doesn't know about DT, if you teach it about DT, then you move the
regulator to chipidea core and it will not need access to glue's DT
node.

you're not making sense.

If you wanna add DT support for chipidea core, you need to come up with
a compatible that makes sense. It won't be fsl,* because chipidea core
doesn't belong to fsl.

> Convert platform data to DT for chipidea core is a big job,

no it's not.

yeah, but this patch makes no sense. The right thing (TM) to do is, as I
have said multiple times before, to teach chipidea core about DT. Please
stop trying to find excuses for not doing the work you need to do; You
would've already done it if you had spent so much of everybody's time
trying to find excuses why not to do it and why Alex should accept your
broken patches.

Have you already forgotten how many issues were found in each and every
version of your patchset ? There's a reason why we're revieweing v11,
right ?
