I/O-space is only valid in the context of PCI, ISA, or similar buses, and
the bus-specific reg format indicates whether it's mmio-space or
io-space.
You could save time on lecturing me (and use it to look on the driver
;-).
Sorry, I misread the question as being a mismatch between the
capabilities of the device binding and the driver, not about the
specific compatible name. Something like "generic-ide" would probably
be better.
What is board specific about a set of standard IDE registers at a given
The regisrer mapping used is highly non-standard.
The gap between registers is nonstandard, but that's a fairly common
type of noncompliance in embedded-land, and probably merits being
supported in a generic way. I wouldn't call it "highly" nonstandard.
Is there some other non-standardness that I'm missing?
We're already in board specific code, so why the heck not? :-)
various ns16550-compatibles out there as well?
I never suggested that -- what I did suggest was make of_serial.c
recognize certain chip types and register them with 8250 driver.
What would be the advantage of maintaining a list of chips whose only
difference is register spacing, rather than just using reg-shift and
being done with it?
