This patch splits the sam9x5 peripheral definitions into:
- a common base for all sam9x5 SoCs (at91sam9x5.dtsi)
- several optional peripheral definitions which will be included by specific
sam9x5 SoCs (at91sam9x5_'periph name'.dtsi)

This provides a better representation of the real hardware (drop unneeded
dt nodes) and avoids future peripheral id conflict (lcdc and isi both use
peripheral id 25).
I really don't like this

the mapping is soc specific (here familly) so I does not see any advantage
except move files so NO for me
Let me explain in detail why I did that.

This separation was part of the "at91 common clk" series and was here to
avoid the
definition of unavailable clocks or definition of clocks with the same
id (which may result
in bad clk registration).
If we keep all the definitions in one .dtsi file (even the one which are
not really available),
I may need to add a new property to each peripheral (and system) clk
node to specify the
availabilty of the clock (something similar to 'status="disabled"' in
device nodes).

This is indeed a pretty good argument.
I do think that we have to ask Mike Turquette to see if he already has encountered such a case.

I must say that I was not in favor for this split because of readability and dts/dtsi file organization (you know, the usual question: where the hell this peripheral property is finally setup?).

But, if we really have to implement a new kind of property to tell if a clock is actually present or not, I am in favor for reconsidering this solution as it seems quite simple and self-explanatory...

As explained to Thomas, I thought device tree was here to give a real
description of the
hardware parts (in case of sam9x5.dtsi the description of the common
parts of sam9x5 SoC
family).
If you define peripherals that are not present in a SoC (lets say macb0
for sam9g15) you break
this rule.

Well, on the other hand, the status says "disabled", so we can imagine that it has been disabled, from its birth, in hardware...

I'm not telling I have the right approach here, I'm just trying to
understand what should be done and
what should not.

Finally, I'd like to point that the memory footprint of the dtb file
generated after this patch has been
applied is bit smaller (even if it won't make a real difference):

with this patch:

15937 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91-ariag25.dtb
15860 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g15ek.dtb
16905 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g25ek.dtb
16473 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g35ek.dtb
17341 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9x25ek.dtb
16473 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9x35ek.dtb

without this patch:

16077 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91-ariag25.dtb
16824 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g15ek.dtb
16849 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g25ek.dtb
16849 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9g35ek.dtb
15017 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9m10g45ek.dtb
17145 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9x25ek.dtb
16849 arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9x35ek.dtb

okay, but difference in size are not impressive. But it is true that:
- it can grow a little if we switch LCD to full DT
- each bit saved can have an influence on boot time
but it will not be a decisive factor.

J.
