Hi Venkata,

Devicetree binding for llcc is updated, but what about this compatible?

Does it need documentation too? I was not sure if I should add documentation for this or not!


It does not require a separate binding, what I meant was to add this
compatible in the llcc binding itself, maybe as a subnode if it is
correct.

Hi,

We aren't really using this of_device_id structure, as this driver is being registered from LLCC through
platform_register_device_data(...). This structure initialization is just dead code as this driver won't be probed based on the DT entries.

Hence removing this compatible property and the corresponding struct in the next patchset.

So, this doesn't need an extra binding/documentation.
