Why do you need new entry? Best regards, Krzysztof

Why do you need new entry? The hardware itself is different, even if the new features are not supported yet in the macb driver. The macb driver will certainly evolve in order to add these features so we decided to match a new compatible string all the way to the driver. Best regards, Nicolas

It sounds like you can still drop this patch though, and only add a specific entry here after the .data field is actually different when those features get added. The important bit for now is to have the specific string in the binding and in the dtb, along with the fallback for I assume "microchip,sama7g5-gem". Arnd

You claim to be fully compatible with sama7g5-gem, so adding new features does not warrant not-reusing old match entry now. Best regards, Krzysztof
