[PATCH 01/22] dt-bindings: Permit platform devices in the trivial-devices bindings

From: Sergey.Semin
Date: Fri Mar 06 2020 - 07:48:26 EST


From: Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Indeed there are a log of trivial devices amongst platform controllers,
IP-blocks, etc. If they satisfy the trivial devices bindings requirements
like consisting of a compatible field, an address and possibly an interrupt
line why not having them in the generic trivial-devices bindings file?
We only need to accordingly alter the bindings title and description nodes.

If a device needs more specific bindings, such as properties to
describe some aspect of it, there needs to be a specific binding
