No, please add it from day one, otherwise everybody needs to update their device tree, some will miss doing it, etc, etc. It's a simple and trivial thing to do, and no reason to leave it o ut. >>> + >>> + memory { >>> + device_type = "memory"; >>> + reg = <0 0x20000000>; >> >> Does the bootloader update this entry, or is it truly static?

It's become commonplace to leave memory empty for the machines where it's guaranteed that the bootloader will have updated it, to avoid having stale or incorrect values in the static tree. I'm not going to be strict about it, but it's something to consider. -Olof -- 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
