SubjectRE: [PATCH v2 4/4] mux: lan966: Add support for flexcom mux controller
Date
Hi Peter,

Thanks for your comments.

> a couple of registers depending on how the board is wired, some

> a better fit than a mux driver.
Based on your inputs, I planned to send a new patch with new DT properties
introduced in atmel-flexcom.c driver rather than mux driver.

Thanks,
Kavya
