UEFI doesn't have its own device tree and so relies on the platform to provide one - in theory that could be something that looks like the Linux device tree spec, but there's no description of how to express that in UEFI at present. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
