Rob,

I tried to ask this at V1 as well [1]. Why do we need a patch like
this ? Isn't this a DT tooling issue, where it is asking for a fixed
order of values ?

Fixed order of values is important in case of properties like
compatibles etc. In case of dma-names, yes order shouldn't matter here.

This patch is more of appeasing dtbs_check warning rather than fixing
something. It's safe to go with this patch.
I am not sure if there's a provision to exclude dma-names from fix
ordering checks. Rob can help here in providing better insights.

Exactly my point. We have seen similar type of issues with other tools, like
coccinelle, earlier and such patches were rejected as the kernel was just fine
and tooling needs to be fixed.

I think it's a question of the scale of the warnings: my understanding is that
there are only a handful of dts files that trigger the warning at all, and it
would be rather hard to change the tooling around this. Since the proposed
dts change is clearly harmless, I don't mind applying it.

Kuldeep, you have probably looked at all dts files in the kernel, can you
say how many of them are affected by the dma property reordering?

I am fine if we want to apply this patch as is.

I have checked spi-pl022.yaml as of now and this was the only one which
was affected with dma ordering.

For all dts files, I can definitely give a try and will come up with
some numbers. Please note, there are still bindings left to be converted
to yaml format, so won't be able to catch those cases.

I checked and found below dts with dma-names warnings[1].
spear1340, spear1310, spear13xx, fsl-ls1043a, fsl-ls1046a 

Yes Arnd, you were right. Very few dts are affected by dma ordering
right now. There might be cases where nodes don't define generic names
and thus not running required checks, still I assume the numbers will be
very less. So, probably we can go ahead with the change.
