Subject: [PATCH v2 05/10] fdtdump: Handle unknown tags
Date: Thu,  9 Apr 2026 13:54:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409115426.352214-6-herve.codina@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409115426.352214-1-herve.codina@bootlin.com>

The structured tag value definition introduced recently gives the
ability to ignore unknown tags without any error when they are read.

Add support for those structured tags in fdtdump and introduce a command
line option to dump unknown tags that should be ignored.
