Re: [PATCH v3 2/4] docs, xen/arm: Introduce static heap memory



Hi Henry,

While reviewing the binding sent by Penny I noticed some inconsistency with the one you introduced. See below.

+Below is an example on how to specify the static heap in device tree:

+        chosen {
+            #xen,static-heap-address-cells = <0x2>;
+            #xen,static-heap-size-cells = <0x2>;

Your binding, is introduce #xen,static-heap-{address, size}-cells whereas Penny's one is using #{address, size}-cells even if the property is not "reg".

I would like some consistency in the way we define bindings. Looking at the tree, we already seem to have introduced #xen-static-mem-address-cells. So maybe we should follow your approach?

That said, I am wondering whether we should just use one set of property name.

I am open to suggestion here. My only request is we are consistent (i.e. this doesn't depend on who wrote the bindings).

Cheers,
