The empty NUMA nodes, where no memory resides in, are allowed. For
these empty NUMA nodes, the 'len' of 'reg' property is zero. These
empty NUMA node IDs are still valid and parsed. I finds difficulty
to get where it's properly documented.

So lets add note to empty NUMA nodes in the NUMA binding doc.

Oh, Yes. Thanks, Randy. I will replace "resides in" with "resides in period"
in v2.

Cute. Would it help if I replaced "period" with Missing "full stop" or '.' at the end
of the sentence?


Ah, yes, '.' is needed either. Do you want me to post a new revision or you
modify it right away? I don't know how device-tree patches get merged :)


Randy, I just posted v2 to include changes suggested by you. Could
you help to have a quick check when getting a chance?

Thanks,
Gavin
