Re: [PATCH V1 Create empty OF root 1/1] of: create empty of root

[Lizhi Hou <lizhi.hou@xilinx.com>]

Hi Yilun,

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I will revise the comments and send 
another patch.

In the meanwhile, based on our previous discussion,

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220111070000.GC979169@yilunxu-OptiPlex-7050/

I will propose another patch to add an of_pci interface which can be 
called by pci driver probe routine to create device node for it.


Thanks,

Lizhi
