I think a clearer way to express this is that the functions return the number of cells to use for a reg property in the given node, and so they will naturally not necessarily return the right number if you give them some other node (whether that's the parent or some other node entirely). > This is fine today because the parent is always the root node which > means there is no upper parent. > > Introduce new helpers dt_child_n_*_cells to retrieve the number of > cells for the address and size that can be used to create the "reg" > property of a child of a given parent.

"replicate". But here I'd rather leave dt_set_range alone to remain analogous to dt_n_*_cells. Can you instead do as you did for dt_n_*_cells please and create a new dt_set_child_range or dt_child_set_range or whatever? _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
