Subject: Re: [PATCH] arm64: dts: armada-3720-espressobin: correct spi node

Hi,
yes, I agree on this personally. I meant to correct this myself or at 
least try to, but I didn't have time, as I was the one that found out 
how they did their partition layout previously, this used to be good so 
I asked Uwe Kleine-König if he could get this patch upstreamed, but as 
it is I myself upgraded U-Boot and cannot make use of it anymore.
Thanks
