Subject: [0/2] libfdt: Cleanups to iteration functions [resend]
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2009 13:49:29 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090206024929.GC18397@yookeroo.seuss> (raw)
Yet more backlog clearing.
These two patches make some cleanups to the fdt_next_node() and
fdt_next_tag() functions that I've been meaning to do for a while.
These patches do introduce minor semantic changes, and those are
exported functions. I think they're still reasonable changes, because
the behavioural changes are in corner cases which previously had
somewhat fuzzily defined semantics anyway. I would be very doubtful
that anyone was relying on the altered behaviour; if I'm wrong about
that these patches could need some rethinking.
These cleanups make it easier to implement property iteration, which I
have a draft patch for in the works. I'm not posting that with this
series, because I'm having second thoughts about the details of the
interface, and I need to write some testcases. I'll try to post that
as an RFC / work-in-progress shortly.
