I would prefer not to merge the DT binding, but I'm fine with the
current implementation, as in the pull request that Jason sent
me. How about this:
* You remove the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/mvebu-mbus.txt file
that is the main source of disagreement, along with the mvebu_mbus_dt_init
function.
* All conversion patches get changed to not add properties to the soc
node but instead call mvebu_mbus_init directly. That code is there
already.
I can take those patches, and we can work on a better DT binding for
a later release without having to hold up other conversions.
