Subject: [PATCH kvmtool 9/9] vfio: platform: Take the guest node from a device tree template
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2026 16:19:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261024161902.2093581-10-smostafa@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261024161902.2093581-1-smostafa@google.com>
At this point the device node has interrupts and regs, which is not
enough to probe a driver in the guest, it at least needs a compatible
string and other device bindings.
To avoid hardcoding those, let the user supply them as a compiled
device tree blob:
--vfio-platform <device>[,<template.dtb>]
Every property of the template's root node, and every subnode, is
copied into the generated node with fdt__copy_node().
