Hi Sven,

thanks for your patch!

That is really unintuitive and needs a detailed explanation. What
is a bridge doing with a PWM? Is it 100% certain this is a PWM,
it's not just a .... clock? A pwm is a pule WIDTH modulator and
I can't for my life understand why a bus bridge needs a signal
with variable pulse width, but surprise me! :D

Is it just a copy/paste from
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/imx-weim.txt
leftover?

It was mentioned as undocumented but it is also pretty terse
with these opaque hex numbers. I would never let the
Freescale binding pass if I was reviewing it.

Look at my bindings for Qualcomm EBI in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/qcom,ebi2.txt
for example.

But maybe it's not even supposed to be there.

Yours,
