I don't see here improvement. For example first comment is useless - you say the same as compatible. Same with last one. So only remaining WD comment should be made in new line so everything is nicely readable.

Keep only one. Everything is the same. Best regards, Krzysztof

Each register describes exactly one hardware register. In some other device, when you see `regs = <0x8000000 0x100>`, then you may have 64 32-bit registers. But for this device, it would be one 2048-bit register. >> All registers must have the same width.

The DTs are not "broken" for taking advantage of a longstanding feature. There is no advantage to rewriting them to use a fixed order, especially when there is no precedent. This is just an area where json schema cannot completely validate devicetrees. --Sean

This is just > an area where json schema cannot completely validate devicetrees. I don't understand "there is no precedent". There is - we rewrite hundreds of DTS. Just look at mine and other people commits. The reg-names are helper and entries were always expected to be ordered. On the other hand if different devices use different order, then it cannot be changed obviously (as the order is fixed). Best regards, Krzysztof

Just look at mine and other people commits. There is no precedent for a fixed order of registers for this device. We have always used reg-names to interpret regs. > The reg-names are helper and entries were always expected to be ordered This is not the case for this device. Registers may be in any order, and some registers may be omitted (and not always the same ones). reg-names is the only way to determine which registers are present. --Sean
