This is a very odd move... please explain what is going on.

Some reasons below we decide to chose this one (via binary blob). - The EMC table is much bigger than the previous Tegra generations (LPDDR4 v.s. LPDDR2/3). It's harder to settle in the review process. And if there is a new fix of the table in the future, we'll need to go through that again. - Because it's LPDDR4 we want to support here, to support higher rates, the devices have must be gone through the training process, which is done in the firmware. Which means We already have the table somewhere in the memory and kernel can just re-use that. No need to convert them back to DT and pass to the kernel. This is much easier to maintain in the future if there is something needs to fix. - With the mechanism above, we don't need to maintain the huge EMC table in the DT file like below. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1063886/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1063889/ And sorry, maybe it's not clear at that moment, but I did mention that we want to go with the new method (via binary blob) in the previous review. Please see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1084467/ Thanks, Joseph

This is not very welcomed, although I don't see it as a big problem if you'll state that all clearly in the commit message with a solid explanation why it is the best possible option. > And sorry, maybe it's not clear at that moment, but I did mention that > we want to go with the new method (via binary blob) in the previous review. > Please see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1084467/ Okay. It will be better if the discussion happened publicly, at least I hope that Rob is involved in it.

The blob's structure is in patch 4 now that we originally wanted to describe below.

Add the binding document for the external memory controller (EMC) which communicates with external LPDDR4 devices. It includes the bindings of the EMC node and a sub-node of EMC table which under the reserved memory node. The EMC table contains the data of the rates that EMC supported.
