Thanks and best regards, gvb We should NOT add code to libfdt if we can avoid it. We should be doing this in fdt_support.c. libfdt changes should first go to dtc. - k ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

+int fdt_get_max_phandle(const void *fdt)
+{
+ int offset;
+ uint32_t temp, phandle = 0;
+
+ FDT_CHECK_HEADER(fdt);
+
+ for (offset = fdt_next_node(fdt, -1, NULL); offset = 0;
+ offset = fdt_next_node(fdt, offset, NULL)) {
+ temp = fdt_get_phandle(fdt, offset);
+ if (temp phandle)
+ phandle = temp;
+ }
+
+ return phandle;
+}
As fdt_get_phandle() returns a uint32_t, fdt_get_max_phandle() should
return the same type, not int.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
