One solution may be to have a simple way of picking out things that are needed early, and placing them in a simple C structure. Things like the serial base address (for console_init_f()) might fit this model. Of course this needs a tool to do it. But the advantage is that everything is controlled from the fdt but without the performance penalty. > 2) The DT can bind nicely with the DM, but if you could investigate > further and > help evaluating possible corner cases, that'd help a lot > I also only just became aware of your tree.
