Subject: DT best practices for defining multiple closely-related boards
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2017 05:19:23 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.21.1710280514300.8772@localhost.localdomain> (raw)


  much shorter followup to previous note -- if we extend all that to
defining, say, two very closely-related boards, the acme "coyote1" and
"coyote2", then all i should end up needing (at most) is two new .dts
files:

  coyote1.dts
  coyote2.dts

both of which could include (among other things) common coyote content
in:

  coyote.dtsi

and that's it. unless there's something really novel about these
boards, all other content should come from kernel-supplied .dtsi
files, yes? and, once again, i'm asking since the design i was handed
again copies kernel-supplied .dtsi files and modifies them, apparently
for no other reason than to remove properties, which should have been
done with /delete-property/.
