Hi Tomer,

your in-line reply got lost in the "> " lines, but I found it anyway.

If I specify the devicetree binding like above (which I initially did),
it implies that the compatible line in nuvoton-npcm750-evb.dts should be

	compatible = "nuvoton,npcm750-evb", "nuvoton,npcm750";

not

	compatible = "nuvoton,npcm750";


This is why I suggested rewriting it like below:

I will send this new approach as a patch in a few days.


Thanks,
