I know it would be easier to import new device tree files into FreeBSD, and support the latest version of the spec if there was a clean way of doing so. Right now, with the files comingled with other files in the Linux tree it is harder to do so than if they were stand-alone. Especially if the compiler could also come from a near-by place. Warner P.S. I've been championing the use of fdt in FreeBSD for a few years now. I am presently converting over all our Atmel support to use fdt, as well as championing cross-SoC and cross-architecture use of fdt + gpio, fdt + i2c, etc. Just so you know who I am, in case the name in unfamiliar to you...-- 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
