Re: [PATCH] ARM: dts: microchip: sam9x7: Add missing usart-mode property

[Jihed Chaibi]

Hi Krzysztof, thanks for the feedback,

I reached out to the developers who initiated the DT support for the
new sam9x7 devices, he explained to me the general workflow, turns out
the dts files aren't yet in linux-next.

Indeed, I used get_maintainer on an old kernel, my bad. Will update
the CC list & the patch once the new DT files make it into linux-next.

Best regards,
Jihèd
