That wording of "match downstream sources" is amiguous, sorry.

What I meant was that:

1. This looks like a properly formatted dtsi node, follows
conventions in the file for ordering, etc
2. The downstream devicetree from Qualcomm uses the same MMIO region
same dependencies for clocks, etc. I do not have documentation
to further review past that

I didn't suspect anyone else would cross check this information, so I
did and thought it deserves a RB after that. Please let me know if you'd
rather I just leave a comment saying such without any formal tags (but I
thought since the whole patch looks proper and that information looks
correct compared to the "documentation" I have access to it deserved
such).

In the rest of this series review I may have used similar phrasing with
respect to downstream, but that expanded description is what I meant in
those cases as well.

Thanks,
Andrew
