The initial intent when the binding of the cp110 system controller was to have one flat node. The idea being that what is currently a clock-only driver in drivers would become a MFD driver, exposing the clock, GPIO and pinctrl functionality. However, after taking a step back, this would lead to a messy binding. Indeed, a single node would be a GPIO controller, clock controller, pinmux controller, and more. This patch adopts a more classical solution of a top-level syscon node with sub-nodes for the individual devices. The main benefit will be to have each functional block associated to its own sub-node where we can put its own properties. The introduction of the Armada 7K/8K is still in the early stage so the plan is to remove the old binding. However, we don't want to break the device tree compatibility for the few devices already in the field. For this we still keep the support of the legacy compatible string with a big warning in the kernel about updating the device tree.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
