Right, I realized between sending and driving into the office that my statement might be construed this way. I meant *new* _DSD bindings should go through the ACPI/UEFI forum. Where we can reuse DT bindings, we should absolutely do that, agreed. We should still document this and link to the DT binding so it can be referenced and used even when Linux is not the target OS. -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center -- 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/
