You choose unusual bindings to convert to DT schema. It is fine but honestly, less useful, with limited impact. This is an old, 12 year old binding without users. Maybe it would be even removed by now... I suggest converting ones which have a real impact - have users in DTS. Otherwise you will be putting quite a lot of effort for no real gains... because what is the difference between this binding being TXT and DT schema?
I am converting these bindings as part of my GSoC project where I need to convert as many files as possible during the given tenure, I am slowly trying to read files in other subsystems too and will push patches for other subsystems too. Is it fine?
In general it is fine. I wonder if we can change the goal of GSoC? I am surprised that such goal was chosen in the first place. Converting old, unused bindings to DT schema is okay, but it would be much better to do this for the bindings which are actually used.
Because I still wonder - what is the difference between this binding being TXT and DT schema?
About the part where you suggested to convert the txt into a single YAML, shall I
The bindings were incomplete, so after adding missing pieces they could stay probably as separate bindings.
continue working on them? As I can see Mark merged the previous 2 patches to linux-next
