Hello Krzysztof, it seems that this patch requires more explanation, maybe something that should be part of the commit message, let's see ...

Just enable it... colibri-imx8x is a SoM, it's not a complete self-contained device. The display touch controller is part of the SoM, however it is kept disabled since you need an actual touchscreen to make any use of it. This label would be used where an actual touchscreen is defined, this can happen with a DT overlay, for example. > > This commit adds a label to allow it to be referenced and enabled. > > You changed here nothing.

DT files from the Linux kernel GIT are used also outside the Linux kernel sources, see for example U-Boot OF_UPSTREAM [1], to me it's fair to add a label for an out-of-tree user, am I wrong?

For U-Boot or any other upstream project: yes. It's enough to point to lore patch or lore link. For downstream projects: I don't care, just churn. Downstream should upstream their stuff to be considered. Best regards, Krzysztof

In the specific case this is a SOM dtsi that can be included in an actual whole self-contained product DTS file. It's not just about DT overlay. In the Linux kernel DT files we do have labels all the time into SOC dtsi files to allow the actual board user to augment/edit the node, even when not used (yet). As a user of SOC dtsi file this is great to me, and the same reasoning just apply to a SOM dtsi. While I understand you do not care, IMO it has some valid use case and should be considered for merging. Francesco
