Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Another batch of dtc checks
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2017 08:45:10 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171117144515.10870-1-robh@kernel.org> (raw)
Here's another batch of dtc checks. The first 3 patches are pretty
straightforward. The last 2 patches are a bit more subjective.
For aliases, I would like to see them restricted to a documented list of
names. There are some platforms I've seen that seem to just define
aliases for many devices and most are not needed. The main use of
aliases in the Linux kernel is to provide fixed device numbers to
userspace, but this is an anti-goal of in the kernel.
