The general view from ePAPR and dts is the node name should be a bit more generic (like ethernet or pci). So what would you suggest? How about 'hwlock' ? This should be generic enough to cover all instances of hardware locks (we already know hwspinlock isn't generic enough, as there are some mutex-like hardware locks which doesn't require busy looping). -- 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/
