</div>I think in a lot of cases, we just list all the possible parts specifically<br>
since we already know them, especially when supporting a new one requires<br>
changing code already.<br>
<br>
Using bcm11351 as the name for the family sounds reasonable to me when<br>
the other ones are derived from that, and the other option is to just<br>
list all the ones that are out there already in the source code match<br>
table. For future SoCs, you can then decide whether you want to change<br>
the code to add the new number or just list one of the existing parts<br>
as backwards compatible for the new device tree file if that allows<br>
you to support it without other code changes.<br>
<br>
Please pick one of the two options and resubmit.<br></blockquote><div>ok. resubmitting shortly with bcm11351.</div><div><br></div><div> thanks,</div><div> csd</div><div></div></div><br><div><br></div>
