Peter,

In this binding file also, only initial compatible field is updated. Later on many
compatible were added in driver. But not update back to binding doc.

<Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/8xxx_gpio.txt>
---
	followed by "fsl,mpc8349-gpio" for 83xx, "fsl,mpc8572-gpio" for 85xx and
	"fsl,mpc8610-gpio" for 86xx.
---
<drivers/gpio/gpio-mpc8xxx.c>
---
static struct of_device_id mpc8xxx_gpio_ids[] __initdata = {
        { .compatible = "fsl,mpc8349-gpio", },
        { .compatible = "fsl,mpc8572-gpio", },
        { .compatible = "fsl,mpc8610-gpio", },
        { .compatible = "fsl,mpc5121-gpio", .data = mpc512x_irq_set_type, },
        { .compatible = "fsl,pq3-gpio",     },
        { .compatible = "fsl,qoriq-gpio",   },
        {}
};

Grant/Rob,
With respect peters explanation (below), what is your opinion on adding information to 
binding doc for da850 support?

Peter --> if the hardware block is identical the dts should simply list:
Peter --> compatible = "ti,da850-ecap", "ti,am33xx-ecap"
Peter --> And the driver only bind to ti,am33xx-ecap (unless there ever needs to
Peter --> be a da850 specific workaround.

Or
Should I update both binding doc & the driver to use new compatible option "ti,da830-ecap"
(as da830 platform has initial IP support)?
Even with this, platforms da830, da850 and am33xx can reuse "ti,da830-ecap" compatible field.

Thanks
Avinash
