Hello Pankaj, Rajan

DO you have any comments on the below patch of gianfar?

Have been removed from P1010RDB device tree to avoid a kernel panic.

Kumar, as such I see this is the old dts format. Also in the latest sdk tree these properties are defined, not sure it is working on P1010RDB.
I can check on this and get back.


Regards
Poonam
