[PATCH] ARM: dts: aspeed: yosemite4: Remove Floating Falls board nodes
From: Eric Yang via B4 Relay
Date: Thu Nov 05 2026 - 04:49:35 EST
From: Sean He <sean.he.wiwynn@xxxxxxxxx>
The Floating Falls (FF) board carries a pca9537 GPIO expander at address
0x49 and a FRU EEPROM at address 0x50 on each slot I2C bus. FF was
planned in the early Yosemite 4 design but has not been used since the
DVT stage, so these addresses never acknowledge. The pca953x driver
fails to probe all eight pca9537 nodes on every boot, and the at24
driver does not bind to the eight EEPROM nodes either. Remove the nodes
for both devices.

The changelog was drafted with an AI assistant (Claude Code) and
reviewed by the submitter.
Tested on two Yosemite 4 BMCs, baseline vs patched image: the eight
pca9537 nodes and the sixteen 0x49/0x50 slot-bus clients are gone, while
the 0x51/0x54 clients, gpio chips and FRU objects are unchanged.
CHECK_DTBS=y W=1 shows no new warnings and the DTB diff is exactly the
sixteen removed nodes.
