And the keen observer who watches Paul's tree will have noticed that the first DTS file, mpc8641_hpcn.dts, has already been added to arch/powerpc/boot/dts! > Any extra dts files ... of which there are none... > ...would be kept whereever dtc src is stored (i.e., jdl.com). > I haven't heard jdl agree to this, though. :) Sure. No problem by me. Though I do have a question WRT the notion of the libdt... So, if I understand this proposal correctly, making libdt.a would mean that we will now have to link the kernel against this new, external dependency library. It would also mean that we'd have to link U-Boot against this new, external library as well. Did I misunderstand or is everyone hip, jiggie and down with that? jdl
