Hi, now just to forestall possible predictable bikeshedding on the devicetree list before it happens: On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 9:06 AM Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > +RedBoot FLASH Image System (FIS) Partitions This expansion of the acronym including using capital letters in FLASH comes from the eCOS source code for RedBoot: https://sourceware.org/viewvc/ecos/packages/redboot/current/src/flash.c?view=markup > +- compatible : (required) must be "redboot-fis" There is no vendor here because the source code was owned by Cygnus Solutions, Redhat and now Free Software Foundation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECos We have no (AFAICT) policy for whether stuff that just change vendor all the time should be named after the inventing (first) company "cygnus,*", current owner "fsf,*" or the one that made most changes to the source code "redhat,*". I do not think we should care, and just name it "redboot-fis" for it's historical value and widespread acceptance so this is a conscious naming scheme. If one of the OF maintainers says they want it a certain way I will change it without discussion, I just want this supported. Yours, Linus Walleij
