That would be a solution if not a policy for arm-soc of keeping DTS
separate. Arnd and Olof since some time are not happy when DTS branch
receives any driver updates.

Arnd, Olof,
This is a set of dtschema conversion + DTS alignment with new schema:
1. Driver change necessary to accept new DTS (driver depends on node
names and this has to change because of dtschema),
2. DTS commits depending on above, which convert node name to new format,
3. Finally dtschema requiring new naming of the GPIO nodes.

If I got correctly, the policy of not mixing drivers and DTS requires
that #2 above (DTS changes) will wait for one more release. During the
time, if dtschema (#3 above) is applied, there will be new warnings
about non-compliant DTS.

Do you see any chance of merging driver + DTS + dtschema via same tree
in same release?


Best regards,
Krzysztof
