Hi Joel,

Sounds like a good idea! One comment though:

Is this (more generic) compatible value guaranteed to exist alongside
aspeed,ast2500-scu? The scu binding only specifies the model-specific
ones:

    Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/aspeed-scu.txt:

    Required properties:
    - compatible:	One of:
                    "aspeed,ast2400-scu", "syscon", "simple-mfd"
                    "aspeed,ast2500-scu", "syscon", "simple-mfd"

- the only mention of the new compatible value that I can find is this
thread. Maybe we should retain the existing one to keep the fallback
case working?

Cheers,


Jeremy
