No, for the same reason. DTS code/patches have to go through arm-soc
DTS branch without mixing with any driver changes. Otherwise arm-soc
guys are angry.

That's a solution. The remaining DTS patches would go in next release...

Another solution would be for this release cycle:
        if (of_property_does_not_exist(node, "samsung,burst-clock-frequency") {
                // Fallback to old parsing mode
                node = of_graph_get_endpoint_by_regs(node, DSI_PORT_OUT, 0);
                if (!node) {
                        dev_err(dev, "no burst-clock-frequency nor
output port with endpoint specified\n");
                        return -EINVAL;
                }
        }
        ret = exynos_dsi_of_read_u32(node, "samsung,burst-clock-frequency",
                                     &dsi->burst_clk_rate);
        ...

...and in next release the DTS patches would go in. This would give
you also DTB backward compatibility. However still DTS could be
applied later, after driver changes gets into mainline.

Personally I would prefer your solution #2 (with separate DTS patch
adding new properties). Does it sound reasonable for Inki?

Thanks for looking into this problem.
