I can imagine that this can be used for OF or EFI as well. > Also unless there is a good usecase for having command line parsing, I'm > all for killing existing ieee1275 parsing altogether and not introducing > any parsing in the future. So you want to dumb it down to the 80s PC level, even if some firmware implementations can set knobs?!
