But I do think the schema language needs to be substantially more flexible than the draft presented here. While I think a schema syntax which mirrors dts syntax makes a lot of sense, actually defining schemas as "device" trees doesn't seem quite right to me. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
