Subject: [PATCH 1/2][OF] Add of_device_is_disabled function
Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2008 15:58:23 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080223155823.2c85d829@zod.rchland.ibm.com> (raw)
IEEE 1275 defined a standard "status" property to indicate the operational
status of a device. The property has four possible values: okay, disabled,
fail, fail-xxx. The absence of this property means the operational status
of the device is unknown or okay.
This adds a function called of_device_is_disabled that checks to see if a
node has the status property set to "disabled". This can be quite useful
for devices that may be present but disabled due to pin sharing, etc.
