It's kind-of a question for the devicetree folks. The last time (a while back now) I asked for some general advice on how a DT should be shipped with hardware, being able to update the DT without replacing the whole of firmware was seen as a good thing. Combine this with that we should try (yes, we can't today due to incompatible bindings) share the DT between U-Boot and the kernel (or really, U-Boot and anything but again, last I checked the BSD bindings were very very different), embedding doesn't seem good. -- Tom -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
