Should we enforce some basic rules e.g. all lower-case, no spaces, mandatory index suffix to try and keep things a bit consistent? (basically as they would appear in Open Firmware). I don't think QEMU necessarily needs to follow the naming convention of Open Firmware specification. A PPC or ARM machine could make sure the names are compatible though or would you like the machine_add_alias() helper to implement some dt fixup ? > Perhaps these should be enforced programmatically? Well, if it is a key requirement for a machine, perhaps it can be implemented at the machine level. What do you have in mind ? Cheers, C.
