No. Drop FEX from the kernel, use DT. There is no reason why the kernel shold care about the FEX format. Translate from FEX to DT where needed in the "firmware" image build process to allow Allwinner to keep the FEX as hardware description to the ODMs. Regards Henrik -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
