From 01a227dfc890c8e1b6412a7208fb178d9ac22691 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2016 17:33:13 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] fdt: Add a note to avoid adding new compatible strings The list is shrinking and we should avoid adding new things. Instead, a proper driver should be created with driver model.
