It's not what we do with flattened device trees blobs though. In the flattened tree we're not using a /chosen/stdout property, just the linux,stdout-path one. The question that remains is; should there be? Should the dt blobs use /chosen/stdout also? (I'm not familiar enough with real OF to know the answer. I'm assuming that an instance value is not the same as a phandle). g. > > Paul. > -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
