Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: usb: mt6360-tcpc: Drop interrupt-names

This IP has only one interrupt, hence interrupt-names is not necessary
to have.
Since there is no user yet, simply remove interrupt-names.

This IP has only one interrupt and names are not needed in this case:
change to use platform_get_irq() instead, dropping the PD_IRQB name.

I'm a bit confused chief. Patch 2 in this series removes a user of this
property from a driver, so can you explain how this statement is true?

Maybe I need to drink a few cans of Monster and revisit this patchset?

Thanks,
Conor.

What I mean with "there is no user" is that there's no device tree with any
mt6360-tcpc node upstream yet, so there is no meaningful ABI breakage.
Different story would be if there was a device tree using this already, in
which case, you can make a required property optional but not remove it.

Anything wrong?! :-)

Cheers,
Angelo

Not every devicetree lives within the kernel.. If the driver is using
it, I'm not inclined to agree that it should be removed.

Sure, I am happy to be overruled if they disagree.

Driver is the user and this is an old binding (released!), thus there
can be out-of-kernel users already.

Minor cleanup is not really a reason to affect ABI. You could deprecate
it, though. Driver change is fine.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Thanks for the clarification. If USB maintainers want to take the driver part only
without me resending this, I'd appreciate that.

The interrupt-names is not a required property in this binding anyway... :-)

Thanks again,

Having -names properties that are not required when the base property is
always seem so pointless to me, except in cases where they're not
required for the case where there's one item but required when there are
more than one. Ultimately they're pointless if not required since they
can't be relied on. I think dropping it from the driver is required for
correctness.

Actually, looking at the binding again:

| required:
| - compatible
| - interrupts
| - interrupt-names

It looks like it is a required property after all!

Possibly because your patch never removed it from required in the first
place, if you only looked back at that, and not the binding (or Rob's
bot's report), I can see how you could miss it.
