[Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partition.txt] That doc says nothing about {address,size}-cells = 0. When using the new binding with a 'partitions' subnode, I'm not sure the address translation specification really matters anyway; the flash space is a new address space unrelated to the parents, and we don't do any translation from the 'flash' node to the 'partitions' node. So you don't need #{address,size}-cells in the flash node, but you do in the 'partitions' node. > I think they're also implicit so you can just remove those two lines. >From ePAPR: "The #address-cells and #size-cells properties are not inherited from ancestors in the device tree. They shall be explicitly defined." But we don't want to define them. I'd drop them, at least from the example, as they're not relevant. > I've created a bcm963268part driver so there won't need to be any > partitions in DT for bcm63268. Just curious, do you plan to submit this driver? We're working on matching up partition parsers to flash devices via device tree of_match_table's, so you could do something like this: nand0: nandcs@0 { compatible = "brcm,nandcs"; ... partitions { compatible = "brcm,bcm963268-partitions"; ... }; }; FYI. > >> + }; > >> +}; Brian -- 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
