Hi Emilio,

It has been pointed to me that the usual way of dealing with compatible
IPs in several generation of SoC in device tree is usually to use the
oldest SoC name to support it, and not some generic term like we use.

I'm currently struggling while doing some work on the A31, where some
IPs differ in a significant way from the A10/A13, and we can't just use
sunxi anymore.

I have a patchset that renames every other IP we have doing this, but
could you rename your compatible strings to allwinner,sun4i* as a first
patch for the already existing clocks, and use that prefix in the
following patches as well? Moreover, since it has been mostly tested on
an A10, if the IP came to differ to some aspect in the A13, it will make
our life easier as well.

Hmmm, this makes me thinking that I used wemac in the pinctrl driver,
and that it's not really consistent with the datasheet, what you have
here, and what I did in the EMAC driver. I'll need to change that...

I'd rather see here I2C. I know that it's called TWI in the datasheet,
but the term I2C is more commonly used in the kernel.

I'm really happy with the general documentation, thanks for this.
However, all of this is true only for the A10, could you mention it
somewhere?

Thanks,
