The driver knows the power sequence. Having to type the same sequence into the DT or platform data for each board using the device wouuld be retarded so we need the drivers to be able to give the sequence to the library if they're going to be able to reuse it (which is a lot of what Tomi is talking about). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
