I would venture that the number of linux kernel developers actively touching device tree source files (and impacted by changes to them) is vastly larger than any other set of developers. My experience in the kernel is already that finding working device tree fragments that match current under development code is difficult. (I am not trying to generalize for all systems, just the ones I use.) Moving the device tree source files out of the kernel git tree will only make things worse. -Frank -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree-spec" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
