I understand the thought of 'neat', but it would also add yet one more layer to the "how did this property get into my dtb?" stew. But more importantly, if this becomes a required part of the kernel build process, is it adding a new required tool (python)? (Or is python already required?) There is resistance to adding new tools. -Frank >>> + foo-gpios: >>> + maxItems: 1 >>> + description: A connection of the 'foo' gpio line. >>> + >>> + vendor,int-property: >>> + description: Vendor specific properties must have a description >>> + type: integer # A type is also required >>> + enum: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10] >>> + >>> + vendor,bool-property: >>> + description: Vendor specific properties must have a description >>> + type: boolean >>> + >>> +required: >>> + - compatible >>> + - reg >>> + - interrupts >>> + - interrupt-controller >> >> Can the required or optional parts go under each property instead of >> having a different section? > > No, because then it is not json-schema language. > >> Or does that make the schema parser >> difficult to implement? > > Yes, because then we have to implement a schema parser. > >> It may also make sense to negate this and >> specify only the optional properties, or to require both optional and >> required lists to make things more explicit at the cost of some >> verbosity. >> >>> + >>> +examples: >>> + - | >>> + /{ >> >> Is the first slash required here? > > No, just leftover from being the root node in the example. > > > Thanks for taking a look. > >>> + compatible = "vendor,soc4-ip", "vendor,soc1-ip"; >>> + reg = <0x1000 0x80>, >>> + <0x3000 0x80>; >>> + reg-names = "core", "aux"; >>> + interrupts = <10>; >>> + interrupt-controller; >>> + }; > -- 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
