are node names technically case sensitive?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



  while the v0.2 spec claims, in sec 2.2.1, that valid characters for
a node name can include both upper and lower case letters, that
section says nothing i can see about case sensitivity.

  i ask since the example in the previous section uses a model value
of "fsl,mpc8572ds", whereas the current kernel code in fact
exclusively uses upper case for the board model name in arch/powerpc:

$ cd arch/powerpc
[rpjday@localhost powerpc]$ git grep -i "fsl,mpc8572ds"
boot/dts/fsl/mpc8572ds.dts:     model = "fsl,MPC8572DS";
boot/dts/fsl/mpc8572ds.dts:     compatible = "fsl,MPC8572DS";
boot/dts/fsl/mpc8572ds_36b.dts: model = "fsl,MPC8572DS";
boot/dts/fsl/mpc8572ds_36b.dts: compatible = "fsl,MPC8572DS";
boot/dts/fsl/mpc8572ds_camp_core0.dts:  model = "fsl,MPC8572DS";
boot/dts/fsl/mpc8572ds_camp_core0.dts:  compatible = "fsl,MPC8572DS", "fsl,MPC8572DS-CAMP";
boot/dts/fsl/mpc8572ds_camp_core1.dts:  model = "fsl,MPC8572DS";
boot/dts/fsl/mpc8572ds_camp_core1.dts:  compatible = "fsl,MPC8572DS", "fsl,MPC8572DS-CAMP";
platforms/85xx/ge_imp3a.c:      if (of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,MPC8572DS-CAMP")) {
platforms/85xx/mpc85xx_ds.c:    if (of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,MPC8572DS-CAMP")) {
platforms/85xx/mpc85xx_ds.c:    return !!of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,MPC8572DS");
$

which means that anyone as pedentically obsessed as i am might be a
bit unsure about case sensitivity.

  thoughts?
