Isn't that the same everywhere? If so, adding it to bcm2835-rpi.dtsi
seems like a better idea; it'd avoid duplicating it everywhere.

It's not the same everywhere (_HIGH vs _LOW), which is why it's in the
individual files.

Oh right, it looks OK then. The series,
Acked-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

One could reduce the duplication by moving the common block into the common .dtsi file, but using a board-defined #define for the polarity:

bcm2835-rpi-a-plus.dts:

#define RPI_HDMI_HPD_POLARITY
#include "bcm2835-rpi.dtsi"

bcm2835-rpi.dtsi:

&hdmi {
hpd-gpios = <&gpio 46 RPI_HDMI_HPD_POLARITY>;
};

... although this case is so tiny I'm not sure there's any benefit trying to unify it like that right now.
