Yes that should be the ultimate goal. So the current per-board
init functions register the I2C, MMC (SDI), SPI, UART and
regulator devices etc. So then these drivers need to be patched to
get their board/platform data from DT first.
In that case we should hold this patch off and only keep it for
internal testing until all necessary drivers are ready and patched
so we can replace all board files with a single DT-based one,
instead of this compromise solution.
Is this what everybody else does?
Thanks,
Linus Walleij
