Subject: Re: [PATCH 6/6] at91: dt: sam9261: Added DM9000 in the device tree

Hi Arnd,

sorry for the delay. I'll rework the driver to include some ideas
proposed by you and Boris. Boris proposed to have several timing
decoders (a generic one, one for NAND and so on). I plan to use the
compatibility name to select the decoder.and use the DT representation
you proposed last : one top "simple-bus" and one sub-node "atmel,smc"
per chip-select with one (or more) sub-device per chip-select.
