[PATCH 0/3] Resolve BCMBCA DT validation errors

[PATCH 0/3] Resolve BCMBCA DT validation errors

[Sam Edwards]

Greetings DT schema folks,

This is a small changeset to resolve DT validation errors in some files located
within arm64/*/broadcom/bcmbca/. It consists of a relaxation of the BCM4908
partitioning schema, followed by two fixes to board-level DTs in order to pass
validation fully.

The motivation for this changeset was to resolve validation errors flagged by
Rob's bot when I tried to introduce a new DT to this directory [1].

Happy spooky month,
Sam

[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: mtd: Relax BCM4908 partition schema

[Sam Edwards]

The BCM4908 partition "parser" is really just a fixed partitions table,
with a special partition compatible (`brcm,bcm4908-firmware`) that
automatically labels the partition as "firmware" or "backup" depending
on what CFE is communicating as the selected active partition.

The bcm4908-partitions schema is currently too restrictive, requiring
that all child nodes use this special compatible or none at all. This
not only contracits what is allowed by the "parser" but also causes
warnings for an existing file ("bcm4908-asus-gt-ac5300.dts").

Modify the schema to be strict only for child partitions that use the
-firmware compatible. Also update the child name regex to agree with
fixed-partitions, so that these differences apply consistently.

[PATCH 2/3] arm64: dts: broadcom: bcmbca: bcm4908: Fix Asus GT-AC5300's cferom partition

[Sam Edwards]

Since the previous patch relaxed the BCM4908 partition DT rules, it is
now possible to have `nvmem-cells` directly under a BCM4908-partitioned
MTD. Make use of this in order to refer to the nvmem MAC address the
"correct" way, and pass the DTB check, for Asus GT-AC5300.

[PATCH 3/3] arm64: dts: broadcom: bcmbca: bcm4908: Fix Netgear R8000P partitioning

[Sam Edwards]

As we have just modified the DT schema for BCM4908 partitioning in order
to accommodate `nvmem-cells` partitions, the workaround of using
`fixed-partitions` is no longer necessary to pass the DT check. Promote
this partition table to full-blown BCM4908 active-partition detection
and remove an inappropriate `ranges` property, thus fully complying with
the schema.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking

What schema applies to the node if this is not true? That needs to be 
addressed. You should be able to use oneOf here rather than if/then 
schema.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your attention on this one! This is an odd case where I'm
not sure what else could be done, and I'm a newbie to modifying DT
schemata, so I'm glad to be receiving your feedback. :)

> What schema applies to the node if this is not true? That needs to be
> addressed. You should be able to use oneOf here rather than if/then
> schema.

The schema that should apply "in general" is partition.yaml, though
moving the '$ref:' outside of 'then:' made the 'unevaluatedProperties:
false' disallow everything. The if block here is just trying to
memorialize bcm4908-firmware as a valid compatible at this level, and
(ideally) disallow unevaluated properties if so.

Could that be done with a oneOf? I would think if one of the arms of
the oneOf was "unmodified $partition.yaml, unevaluated allowed" it
would always match, rendering the "unevaluated disallowed when
compatible=bcm4908-firmware" arm unused.

Best,
Sam
