If needed, I can change to: title: QMC (QUICC Multichannel Controller) HDLC Let me known if it is better to you.
If it were me writing the binding, I'd probably use something like "Freescale/NXP QUICC Multichannel Controller (QMC) HDLC", but it is not a big deal, I just had a "wtf is this" moment :)
- fsl,qmc-chan:
Perhaps I am just showing my lack of knowledge in this area, but what is fsl specific about wanting a reference to the channel of a "QMC"? Is this something that hardware from other manufacturers would not also want to do?
The QMC and the QMC channel are something specific to the SoC. This IP is only available on some Freescale/NXP SoCs.
When I upstreamed the 'fsl,qmc-audio.yaml', I first used a generic name for this property and Kristoff asked to change to a vendor prefixed name. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/1dfade07-f8c4-2e16-00dc-c7d183708259@li...
Based on this, as the property 'fsl,qmc-chan' has the exact same meaning in fsl,qmc-audio.yaml and fsl,qmc-hdlc.yaml, I use the same name.
Okay, thanks for explaining!
