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.
