Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 17/74] dtc: Add support for /export/ dts keyword parsing
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 11:48:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826094950.1088288-18-herve.codina@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826094950.1088288-1-herve.codina@bootlin.com>

The /export/ dts keyword is the keyword used to define an exported
symbol at a given node level.

This keyword can be present in a node definition (after properties and
before subnodes) to export a symbol. If several symbols need to be
exported, several /export/ keywords are present.

The syntax used is the following:
  /export/ name: reference;

with:
  name: The name of the exported symbol
  reference: The reference of a node the symbol is pointing to.

For instance:
  - Reference by label:
      /export/ foo: &foo1;

    The exported symbol foo references the node identified by
    the label foo1.

  - Reference by path:
      /export/ foo: &{/path/to/foo@100};

    The exported symbol foo references the node at /path/to/foo@100.

Add support for /export/ dts keyword.
