Hm, in different context it was stated that device trees shouldn't rely
on bootloader behavior (for a /memory node on Zynq we ended up
specifying the size cell with the real value despite U-Boot overriding
it to a lesser value).
Can we instead settle on filling this node with defaults? :)
bootargs = "console=tty1"; would be my choice for Spring. Would that be
applicable for Snow as well?
Not sure how to specify that via linux,stdout-path property.
I believe this would be a follow-up patch either way.
Since there's at least two series out there trying to fiddle with
-cros-common.dtsi, including one that drops the slot sub-node of the MMC
and one that adds CPU power supply, it would be nice if we can get the
-cros-common parts sorted out and applied. Can you ack/review 1-2?
Should I squash them in a v3?
Thanks,
Andreas
