This approach would certainly require recompiling something. I threw the code into dtc simply because it was the easiest container for the demonstration. It could be a separate DT validation utility if we wanted, although we'd need to split the DT parser from dtc into a library to avoid code duplication. The resultant utility could be part of the repo containing the DTs, so it didn't end up as a separate package to manage. I think the additional documentation could be added as comments in the validation functions, just like IIRC it was to be represented as comments even in the .dts-based schema proposals. -- 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
