Re: [PATCH 2/2] ARM: dts: samsung: Add Hardkernel ODROID-U2

[Henrik Grimler]

Hi Josef,

Running dt-check-style --mode strict exynos4412-odroidu2.dts with
dt-check-style from
https://github.com/krzk/linux/blob/b4/dts-style-checker-blank-lines/scripts/dtc/dt-check-style
shows a few things that can be improved, commented inline.

I compared your linked schematics with the ones for odroid-u3 and
agree that this seems to be all the differences.
