[PATCH v4 5/8] MFD: ti_am335x_tscadc: Add DT support

[Patil, Rachna]

Hi Koen,

And I guess the next question is related to the first: why doesn't it work when used with DT? When I copy over the nodes from the evm.dts to my board I get "tsc tsc: Missing platform data" in dmesg.

Did you get a chance to test this branch?
And can you also share your branch, on which you observed the issue.
