SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: iio: temperature: ltc2983: support more parts
From
Date
Hi Krzysztof,

As I wrote the original bindings, let me reply to some of your
points...

Well, most of the patternProps in this bindings are temperature
sensors... It's just that the device(s) support different types of
them. 'adi,sensor-type' is used to identify each sensor (as this
translates in different configurations being written in the device
channels).

Yeah, a bit. In Cosmin defense, I think he's just keeping the same
"style" as the rest of the properties...

I'm fairly sure this refers to the datasheet. I see now that this can
be confusing (again this kind of references are being (ab)used in the
rest of the file).

Neat... My only comment (which probably applies to my previous ones) is
that the rest of the properties are already in this "style". So maybe,
follow up patches with small clean-ups would be more appropriate?
