I don't understand.

The commit message above already points out for which device this is
(and you also know from the LAKML thread).

You as driver author should know that the .data pointer is vital to your
driver - you even recently accepted another model that conflicted with
my patch. So are you arguing for a ", which uses a Device Tree for
booting" half-sentence here?

The others not having an entry simply means no one needed them yet.

And any Turris Omnia side changes need to go through the mvebu tree.

Regards,
Andreas
