Thanks for the pointers. I will add updates to Documentation/devicetree/overlay-notes.txt in this series. The changes to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/fpga/fpga-region.txt are related to the relatively new sugar syntax in dtc, not to the changes introduced by this patch series. I'll create a patch outside this series to update this documentation. > Gr{oetje,eeting}s, > > Geert > > -- > Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@...ux-m68k.org > > In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
