It would be nice to be OF compatible at least at some level. Of course OF spec is not strict enough to have two different implementations produce exactly same device path that can be compared by strcpy. Can we apply the series now? At least for x86 it provides useful paths and work can be continue for other arches by interested parties. -- Gleb. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
