Actually, none of this is OpenFirmware related. This syntax was created for use with dtc which is completely independent of OpenFirmware. Only the device tree structure and usage conventions are shared with dtc. However, we've already got a large userbase so making an incompatible source file format change would be unbelievably painful. g. _______________________________________________ devicetree-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/devicetree-discuss
