Message-Id: <1430131945-20628-1-git-send-email-sudeep.holla@arm.com> Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2015 11:52:25 +0100 From: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@....com> To: devicetree@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Jassi Brar <jaswinder.singh@...aro.org> Cc: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@....com>, Rob Herring <robh+dt@...nel.org>, Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com> Subject: [PATCH] mailbox: arm-mhu: update the binding document The initial version of the binding document pushed along with the driver is not clear/explicit about couple of the required properties namely: clocks and clock-names, though the AMBA primecell binding used by the arm-mhu specifies them clearly. Without these property the driver will not even get probed, so it is mandatory to have them in DT. This patch adds the above mentioned required properties to the binding. It also adds the optional interrupt-names property which is good to have along with some minor updates to replace references to the driver with the hardware IP.
