Hi Guenter,


But you are right I forgot to change stm32f429.dtsi.
If I add a commit for stm32f429.dtsi, it's Ok for you ?


Not really. You are imposing a personal preference on others,
and you would make stm32f429.dtsi inconsistent since it doesn't
use clock names for anything else.This in turn means that people
will have an endless source of irritation since they will need
a clock name for this node but not for others.

Why? This kind of implementation depends on each driver. Isn't ?

Or do you mean that if iwdg driver uses this implementation (clock name usage) all nodes inside stm32f429.dtsi should follow the same implementation ?


You will have to get the arm and DT maintainers to agree on this change.

As this patch makes easier integration of new platform, I agree with Ludovic proposition.


regards
Alex
