Hi Rob and Mark, I am upgrading the kernel on a Freescale P2040 based system and have struck an issue with LIODNs not being updated by uboot for an FMAN ethernet port. My system has an old uboot running which fails in its attempt to update the fman rx port node with the required LIODN entry. This is because my old uboot installation is looking for compatibility value "fsl,fman- port-1g-rx" while the latest kernel defines the compatible value as "fsl,fman-v2-port-rx" (see for instance arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/qoriq-fman-0-1g-3.dtsi). Newer uboot looks for both values per this commit: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/commit/97a8d010e029111e5711a45264a726b edbeb24c4#diff-43243b910837283bb1d5d626f4d89d75 I am unable to update bootloaders for devices of this type in the field so I am wondering if the correct approach is to adjust my DTS file locally to add the compatible string my old uboot is searching for, or if we should add this to the various qoriq-fman dtsi files in the kernel to make this work in a nice backwards compatible way. Let me know your opinion. I'm happy to work up a patch if you'd like to make the change in the kernel, otherwise I'll handle it locally by overriding the compatible string in my system's dts file. Thanks, Hamish M
