Hi Paul,

I didn't get patch #2, so I don't get to see how the read/write functions ar
eused for example.

Don't you need some sort of read/write atomic routine as well ? Locking would
be needed then...

So it seems that your driver here does nothing but extending your device tree
definition. Correct me if I'm wrong, aren't you trying to fix a broken device
tree definition here ?
