Hi,

Rob I used your old email, sorry about that.

Lee,

does it make sense to have a common of_mfd code for devicetree parsing?
Is that discussed already? I mean presently the mfd_cell resources and
number of resources are passed by the mfd_add_devices users. Is it
possible to have common code which parses devicetree sub-nodes of the
parent device_node and fill resources/create platform devices for them.


Rob, Grant I hope you guys have something to say here?
