So I'm not opposed to this, but it is a little vague. What does the "hotpluggable" property really mean? Is it just a hint to the operating system? (which may or may not be Linux). Or is it a direction, "this memory must be able to be hotunplugged"? I think you're intending the former, ie. a hint, which is probably OK. But it needs to be documented clearly. cheers -- 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
