Add a symlink to uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h, and include that

event codes synced manually.

Hrm, I think this is going to cause trouble for the split DT repository
at
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/devicetree/devicetree-reba
sing.git/

Since ../../ == include in both trees I think I can make it work by
including include/uapi/linux in the conversion, either wholesale
(easiest)
or partially (potentially cleaner).

Any opinions on that?

The intend of the symlink was that the conversion script would copy the target,
rather then follow the symlink. This sorta assumes that there are will be not
symlinks under dt-bindings which link to files inside dt-bindings and thus
should be preserved as symlinks.

If the copy done in the script will follow the symlink then nothing should
really change for the split DT repo.

Interesting idea. I'll see if I can make the conversion routine do that.

TBH I have a horrid feeling that this is going to be beyond git rewrite
-branch, at least in the mode it is used in today.

In principal I ought to regenerate the tree from scratch such that
include/uapi/linux was "always" there and has history but I think we
can
live with it just appearing at some point in time wen the conversion
script
was updated?

AIUI these values are required to only be used with properties whose
names
are of the form "linux,*", otherwise there would be strong complaints
about
include Linux uapi stuff into a generic device-tree binding.

Correct, these values are only for linux,* properties, which is why I
initially put them in a file named dt-bindings/input/linux-event-codes.h

I think that would be a better name for the symlink (but not the target of
that symlink) and usage in the .dts*, given it's (hopefully) going to turn
into a regular file in the exported repo.

Ok I can fix this in a next version of the patch-set (once we've figured
out how to deal with all this exactly).

Regards,

Hans
