I understand clock (main clock controller) power (power domain
controller) and PHY (HDMI and CVBS PHYs). Are you sure about pinctrl?

If you have to re-send this then it would be great if you could add:
          - amlogic,meson-hhi-sysctrl
because we already have that in arch/arm/boot/dts/meson.dtsi for the
32-bit SoCs.

For this node (and similar ones) I have a question to the device-tree
maintainers:
The power controller has a dedicated sub-range of registers. This also
applies to the CVBS and HDMI PHYs.
But the clock controller does not (it has its registers all over the
place - unfortunately that's how the hardware is).
I have been asked to add a "reg" property to child nodes with a
sub-register space.
Does this mean we need to add a reg property here as well (regardless
of whether we're using it in the driver or not)? And what to do in
case of the clock controller though?


Best regards,
Martin
