This is a friendly reminder during the review process.

It seems my or other reviewer's previous comments were not fully
addressed. Maybe the feedback got lost between the quotes, maybe you
just forgot to apply it. Please go back to the previous discussion and
either implement all requested changes or keep discussing them.

Thank you.


Also - not tested

Nothing improved

How many items? What's inside?

That's not the syntax. Test it.

You wanted :false

And how suddenly "2" appeared here? Anyway:

Node names should be generic. See also an explanation and list of
examples (not exhaustive) in DT specification:
https://devicetree-specification.readthedocs.io/en/latest/chapter2-devicetree-basics.html#generic-names-recommendation

Add complete example, so you miss sram.

This code is not going well. :( I understand some discussions on
properties but lack of testing? At v7 of patchset still not tested?
