The commit message is written a bit like everybody knows what this is about but I don't :-) Some more background here would be nice, like where did this thing come from, and are there other platforms in existance that use trusted foundations or is it a Tegra-only thing? Does a specification of this thing listing available services exist for example? How does it relate to the (arch-neutral) trusted execution environment and such things that other vendors are pushing for? Can the trusted foundations be used "underneath" such frameworks for trusted applications, or is it a parallell thing altogether? Simple things like that... I tried googling it, is this a relevant URL? http://www.arm.com/community/partners/display_product/rw/ProductId/5393/ Thanks, Linus Walleij -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
