If it's certain that we'll never see anyone writing FDTs with "ok" in them instead of "okay" (because such FDTs were only autogenerated by Open Firmware), then I'm fine with the original code. >> OK, how about: >> return 0 == strncmp(cell, "ok", 2); >> >> (I do feel that if you do this sort of thing you end up with people >> using 'ok' even in new fdts, since they look at code like this and >> think it is fine) That'd be buggy since it'd allow a lot more than ok/okay. A comment in the code would avoid the issue. -- nvpublic _______________________________________________ devicetree-discuss mailing list devicetree-discuss@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/devicetree-discuss
