No longer use custom property to define poweroff capability, use the standard
DT property instead.

This is related to the following subject "[RFC v3 PATCH 1/5] of: Add
standard property for poweroff capability" and depends on the
corresponding patch.

Then it should be sent in the same patch-set.

There's nothing I can do with this patch as is.

Even if this patch is already commited and present in "linux-next" ?
(or in Mark Brown's regulator tree)

This breaks DT ABI stability right? An existing device tree using ti,system-power-controller won't work anymore after this patch right? I don't think that's acceptable.

CHeers,

Peter.

Hi Peter,

This is why I converted all dts which use "ti,system-power-controller"
and tps65910/tps65911 to the new property (everything is in the
patches serie). However, with an existing dtb it will no longer work,
yes.
What do you suggest ? keep these two properties in the driver ? :/

I mean, this is a standardization, so all the corresponding dts must
be updated and rebuilt... Like when you change something in a
dt-binding, you should update and rebuilt the dts... I Don't compute.

Usually it wouldn't be possible to take this, as it would be
difficult to ensure bisectability.  The way we usually deal with this
is to have a shared immutable branch between the effected subsystems,
but we can only do this if the patches are sent as a set.  However, it
appears as though Mark has "of: Add standard property for poweroff
capability" on a tagged branch on its own.  This means, after checking
with Mark that this branch in indeed stable, I can merge it in and
base this commit on top of it.  Not many people setup their repos like
Mark does, so I guess you are lucky this time.

Once I've heard back from Mark, I'll let you know when I apply the
patch.

DT ABI stability rule: any DTB that worked with kernel x must also
work with kernel x+1. It seems like this patch would break that rule.

It's ok to manage new properties and to deprecate the use of older
ones if it makes sense (and in this case it seems like it does). But
the old property must still be handled for compatibility reasons.

Okay, will do these changes.
