Oops thanks will fix.

Well we don't want any any wild cards in the dts compatible names.
Typically the first piece of hardware is selected, but that causes
confusion too. So we're using comaptible names like dra7 and dm814.

I don't know of any instances using it.. I'll take a look but seems like we
could just leave it out.

I vote for dcoclkldo then :) The "cold" name embedded in the other one just
causes me confusion reading it every time..

Yup.

Yeah I have to take a closer look at this whole bypass thing..

OK good to know thanks.

Thanks will check.

Yeah using 16-bit read/write there seems like a good idea.

For the Linux standard read/write.. That has been discussed to death
with the immediate offset many years ago.. Let's not go there :)

Hmm need to check.

OK sounds like a good idea to me.

Thanks for all the comments!
