Hi DT folks,
In taking a look at the /chosen/stdout-path (and
/chosen/linux,stdout-path) properties described in ePAPR and in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/chosen.txt, I see that one can use a
path name reference, followed by a colon (':') and an options string to
add options to a particular console. e.g.:
/ {
serial@f000 {
...
};
chosen {
stdout-path = "/serial@f000:115200";
};
}
When there are no options to append, DTS syntax can easily handle this
for you with the '&' operator, to automatically generate a path name:
/ {
uart: serial@f000 {
...
};
chosen {
stdout-path = &uart;
};
};
However, it appears the device tree compiler provides no syntax for
concatenating anything to a path. I see there was an RFC patch set for
more general expression support [1], though it doesn't handle everything
I'd like. For instance, with the proposed syntax, I could imagine doing
this:
/ {
uart: serial@f000 {
...
};
chosen {
stdout-path = &uart + ":115200";
};
};
though that patch set doesn't handle this.
Thoughts? What's the status with DTS language extensions like [1]?
Regards,
Brian
