I also feel like this is just pushing the population of device tree nodes from an editor of a .dts file to the QEMU command line. If some generation is needed, then maybe we need a script, possibly one which has the same command line inputs as proposed here. afaik, we haven't typically taken patches which help overlay the generated devicetree with additional nodes. For example, see [1] for one such proposal and rejection. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210926183410.256484-1-...@chromium.org/ Thanks, drew
