It does seem to only work if I already have nodes that are large enough to hold the properties coming from the ATAG. For example, I have to have an array of memory reg values large enough, as well as a command line large enough to hold the one passed from the bootloader. If the DTB's command line is smaller than the one from ATAG, it just silently leaves the DTB one in place. David -- Sent by an employee of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
