Use vendor and type, e.g. "vendor,power-manager-syscon". +- Do not add instance index (IDs) properties or custom OF aliases. If the + devices have different programming model, they might need different + compatibles. If such devices use some other device in a different way, e.g. + they program the phy differently, use cell/phandle arguments. + - Bindings files should be named like compatible: vendor,device.yaml. In case of multiple compatibles in the binding, use one of the fallbacks or a more generic name, yet still matching compatible style. |
