    Well I think I ACKed that from the point of view that it will work as
    expected with ux500 with these bindings. What is best from the I2C
    subsystem point of view is another question ...

    Overall I think we have this general problem with a lot of DT
    conversion happening right now: the tempo is set very high and
    all chip vendors want DT support RealQuickNowPreferrablyYesterday
    and that makes it hard for subsystem maintainers to hold back,
    and I also fear vendor-specific properties are overused for this
    reason.

    And about the perpetual nature of device tree bindings it
    appears to me that the modus operandi right now is to not
    regard any of these as written in stone until they are removed
    from the kernel tree. We have plenty of drivers patching
    trees and drivers in one for the moment.

    Yours,
    Linus Walleij
