Okay, we declare compatible as optional in the generic mmc-slot binding but make it required in the meson-mx-sdio binding, which inherits from it. So why not define the property directly in the meson-mx-sdio binding instead? It feels like the mmc-slot binding itself serves no real purpose. > > Something like: > ======================================================================== > diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/amlogic,meson-mx- > sdio.yaml b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/amlogic,meson-mx- > sdio.yaml > index 022682a977c6..0d4d9ca6a8d9 100644 > --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/amlogic,meson-mx-sdio.yaml > +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/amlogic,meson-mx-sdio.yaml > @@ -60,6 +60,9 @@ patternProperties: > bus-width: > enum: [1, 4] > > + required: > + - compatible > + > unevaluatedProperties: false > > ======================================================================== > > Conor, Is it right ? > > Neil > >>> >>> Thanks, >>> Neil >>> >>>> >>>> unevaluatedProperties: false >>>> >>>> --- >>>> base-commit: 40b8e93e17bff4a4e0cc129e04f9fdf5daa5397e >>>> change-id: 20241219-mmc-slot-0574889daea3 >>>> >>>> Best regards, >>> >> >> >

Because mmc-slot.yaml is designed to be complete (hence "unevaluatedProperties: false"). There's at least 2 bindings which use it (with "mmc-slot" compatible). Leaving it at least prevents folks from coming up with their own random compatible strings for mmc-slot. Rob
