07:11 <mwalle> wens: maybe I don't get it but, for example by looking at the base address and setting some flags in the driver?

07:13 <mwalle> I'm skeptical alias is the correct use for this honestly and it looks really like a source of errors because they are totally disconnected from each other, how would one know that you need to have a merge8 alias for example and esp. for what exactly.

07:14 <mwalle> or maybe i just didn't find the documentation yet?

08:25 <wens> mwalle: there isn't any documentation. It's up to the person adding the nodes to get it right. Same is true is we had a graph representation.

08:27 <wens> same goes for any other way of identification. one needs to look at the datasheet to get it right.

08:28 <wens> matching base addresses might have been rejected, but I'm not sure
