[PATCH v2 0/4] Add capability to create property from old property

[PATCH v2 0/4] Add capability to create property from old property

[Ayush Singh]

Allow construction of new values for a property using old property
value.

This was originally suggested in /append-property/ Patch series [0] and
can be used to achieve the same results (and much more).

In practice, it looks as follows:

dts-v1/;

/ {
	str-prop = "0";
	int-prop = <0>;
};

/ {
	str-prop = /./, "1", /./;
	int-prop = /./, <1>, /./;
};

dts to source output with -T -T also works as expected:

/dts-v1/;

/ { /* base.dts:3:3-5:3, base.dts:7:3-9:3 */
        int-prop = <0x00 0x01>, <0x02 0x03>, <0x00 0x01>; /* base.dts:4:9-4:26, base.dts:8:9-8:36 */
}; /* base.dts:3:3-5:3, base.dts:7:3-9:3 */

Changes in v2:
- Compare against expected dtb instead of checking each property
  individually in tests.
- Use xstrdup when copying refs so each marker has it's own copy.
- Pass struct data by value, not by pointer.
- Add srcpos_free helper to properly free srcpos which have been
  extended previously.
- Remove open items since my original choices seem correct.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250301-previous-value-v1-0-71d612eb0ea9@beagleboard.org

This is a reasonable cleanup regardless of anything else.  Applied.

[PATCH v2 2/4] srcpos: Define srcpos_free

[Ayush Singh]

srcpos can be chained together using srcpos_extend. However, in such
cases, we need to free all the chained nodes.

srcpos_free is a helper to recursively free all the linked srcpos.

This should also _use_ the new function in any existing places it make
sense.  On a quick glance I can only see one such place, in
merge_nodes() where we use a plain free() on the srcpos info of an
overwritten property.

[PATCH v2 3/4] dtc: Add /./

[Ayush Singh]

Allow constructing new values for a property using old property values.
Can be used to append, pre-append, duplicate, etc.

In practice, it looks as follows:

dts-v1/;

/ {
	str-prop = "0";
	int-prop = <0>;
};

/ {
	str-prop = /./, "1", /./;
	int-prop = /./, <1>, /./;
};

dts to source output with -T -T also works as expected:

/dts-v1/;

/ { /* base.dts:3:3-5:3, base.dts:7:3-9:3 */
        int-prop = <0x00 0x01>, <0x02 0x03>, <0x00 0x01>; /* base.dts:4:9-4:26, base.dts:8:9-8:36 */
}; /* base.dts:3:3-5:3, base.dts:7:3-9:3 */

I think it will be a bit easier to understand if the two examples 
correspond to another, i.e. to have both int-prop and str-prop with the 
matching value from the first example in this example.

I think DT_PREV_VALUE would be a better name.  "prev prop" suggests
the property defined immediately above, rather than the previous value
of this property.

Nothing in this function requires 'old' to be the previous value of
the property.  So 'data_insert_data()' would be a better name.  It's
also strictly about manipulating a struct data so it should go in
data.c, not livetree.c.

This is logically per-property, not per-node.  So it needs to be
initialised to false for each property, not just once per node.  So it
might as well be local to the first while loop as well.
