I thought about asking you if I should send them as a series although they are logically independent patches..
Sorry about that and I will do so for future patches.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm also considering moving common stuff into "dtsi" file, but let me take care of it in a separate patch, mainly because:
  1) I have one more BMC platform (galaxy100) which is also similar to wedge.
      I haven't started the platform, but once I have galaxy100 device tree ready, it would be easier for me to extract common part.
  2) the device tree is not complete yet.
      For example, all the i2c devices are still created from userspace.
      I'm trying to move the logic from userspace to device tree but I haven't decided what to do with those cpld/fpga devices.

Cheers,

Tao
