Once that's finalized, I still need to go update MAINTAINERS. I haven't followed this discussion at all, so here's a question. What does this mean for the _installed_ dtb files? Do they move location? If they do, lots is going to break, because there will be u-boot configurations and other scripts that assume the flat directory structure for the installed dtb files. I don't think changing the installed dtb structure is acceptable at this point in time. It's something that _should_ have been thought about when ARM was converted to dtb, it's too late to be changing that now. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
