is this the right list for moderately simple questions about kernel DT processing?

is this the right list for moderately simple questions about kernel DT processing?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i'm currently perusing the kernel code under drivers/of to see the
details of how the kernel parses a FDT, and if i have questions, is
this the right place to ask them? chances are, they won't be
awesomely deep, but if there's a better place, let me know.

Yes, this is the right place.

  oh, i've been through that doc, it's incomplete in places which is
where i start digging into the code and asking dumb questions.

Indeed it is!  It is slowly being improved and expanded as a result
of my frustration with poor and/or lacking documenation.  Any high
level suggestions to me about how and where to improve it are very
welcome.

  i'm already working on some intro-level DT docs for some of my
courses because i'm not entirely happy with any of the stuff that's
out there. when i'm done, it will all be online.

  my biggest obsession is to show examples. lots and lots of examples,
straight out of the .dts and .dtsi files. i find students really don't
need long winded theoretical explanations if two or three actual
examples explain what they need to know.

  anyway, back to work ...
