Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] phy: rcar-gen2, rcar-gen3-usb2: add fallback binding
Date: Mon,  7 Mar 2016 10:58:39 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457315921-30217-1-git-send-email-horms+renesas@verge.net.au> (raw)

Add fallback compatibility strings for rcar phy drivers.

In the case of Renesas R-Car hardware we know that there are generations of
SoCs, e.g. Gen 2 and Gen 3. But beyond that its not clear what the
relationship between IP blocks might be. For example, I believe that
r8a7790 is older than r8a7791 but that doesn't imply that the latter is a
descendant of the former or vice versa.

We can, however, by examining the documentation and behaviour of the
hardware at run-time observe that the current driver implementation appears
to be compatible with the IP blocks on SoCs within a given generation.

For the above reasons and convenience when enabling new SoCs a
per-generation fallback compatibility string scheme being adopted for
drivers for Renesas SoCs.

Changes in v3:
* Added Acks
* Corrected whitespace in examples

Changes in v2:
* Update new compatibility strings to match the preferred scheme for
  ordering elements
* Rebase
