The sub-node name defines the name. Or you can > use reg-names with-in the sub-node. Yes, eeprom-names is needed in the consumer nodes, where there are multiple eeproms cells, its easy to lookup by name rather than index,which depends on the order of the entries. reg-names inside the "data cells" is ok, but I can't think of its use immediately. May be useful for debug? --srini > > > Rob > >> + >> +For example: >> + >> + tsens { >> + ... >> + eeproms = <&tsens_calibration>; >> + eeprom-names = "calibration"; >> + }; >> -- >> 1.9.1 >> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
