Subject: [U-Boot-Users] idea: fdt_checkboard

Message-ID: <464CA8ED.9080708@freescale.com> (raw)
Jerry,
What do you think about implementing a board-specific function called "fdt_checkboard()"?
On platforms that have this function, it would be called by fdt_open_into().
fdt_checkboard() would scan the device tree and make sure that it's the right tree for
this board (e.g. by checking the 'model' or 'compatible' fields), and return an error if
it's not.
This would be helpful in eliminating the possibility of accidentally using the wrong
device tree. It could happen, for instance, if there are multiple device trees for a
given board.
