Subject: adding OF_DYNAMIC proc interface - 2nd try
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2012 13:25:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348856718-25854-1-git-send-email-atull@altera.com> (raw)


Hello,

(Fixed my mail configuration from earlier).

The following patch adds a /proc/ofdt interface to add or remove device tree
nodes dynamically.

Based on earlier feedback, I've changed my driver to use /proc instead of
creating a new ioctl (the old thread is at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/devicetree-discuss-uLR06cmDAlY/bJ5BZ2RsiQ@public.gmane.org/msg17333.html)

I was hoping to get some early feedback from others who might be interested
who were discussing this on an earlier thread about OF_DYNAMIC usage.

This code doesn't do any notification for drivers yet. It can add multiple
nodes and they will show up properly under /proc/device-tree.  It has an
issue that shows up when removing nodes (it appears that the memory used by
proc gets corrupted after the add).
