Hi Lucas,

First of all, good to see this patch series in community.

upstream activities.  You Did help us a lot!

Vendor tree mostly is still using fsl,imx8mq-xx.

And many binding doc format is:"compatible : Should be "fsl,<soc>-gpio".
So we can't use 'nxp' prefix here without changing binding doc.

Then if we decided to use 'fsl' prefix, probably we may want to fix the
rest of them in this file as well.

And i see the dtsi file does not include Freescale/NXP copyright,
is there a reason?

BTW it's quite strange that my gmail did not receive your MX8MQ patch
series except clk part.
Lucas, Could you help have me CCed next time?
I'd like to help review and test the patch series.

For this time, can you help send them all to me as attachment?

(You can also send all IMX related patches to linux-imx at nxp.com maillist
i created recently for tracking all IMX related upstream activities.
Most Freescale/NXP driver owners are in this list that could help on
the review. Shawn, do you think if i can put it in MAINTAINER file?)

Regards
Dong Aisheng
