Re: [PATCH] Open Firmware device tree virtual filesystem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Segher has a modification to the devtree patch that creates a lower
level ops vector that can be implemented with callback or non-callback.

It is still being tested.

It currently only hooks up OLPC, and I don't have any of
those [hint hint], so I need external testers.  I'll send
the patch to LKML if it does work.  However, the way it
implements the filesystem will need significant changes,
but we'll discuss that later :-)

Wonderful! If the non-callback version works out,

We use it on many PowerPC platforms already, it works
just fine.

then we can greatly
widen the potential use of the OF device tree for many BIOSes. If that
works, then we can put the proprietary tables into a small box and
ignore them :-)

Yup, the DTC-generated tree is just a single binary blob
from the perspective of passing it around.
