I'm inclined to leave it, "visible to C sources" doesn't seem like that much of an issue and IMHO the cure (kernel/dts/...) is worse than the disease. @@ -223,7 +223,7 @@ Example of a VE tile description (simplified) > > > > /* Active high IRQ 0 is connected to GIC's SPI0 */ > > > > interrupt-map = <0 0 0 &gic 0 0 4>; > > > > > > > > - /include/ "vexpress-v2m-rs1.dtsi" > > > > + #include <arm/vexpress-v2m-rs1.dtsi> > > > > }; > > > > }; > > > > > > > > > > > > You do not have to replace /include/ with #include, > > > if you add the include path for DTC. > > > > Ah, I looked for this but -i is not documented in the man page. > > > > Is there any reason to prefer one over the other? > > #include allows you to use CPP in the file you're including, /include/ > does not. > > I would imagine we have to use #include in case the dtsi itself has > #include statements... If it did, yes. I don't think vexpress-v2m-rs1.dtsi does, since it is using /include/ today.

Indeed, I've done that locally already.
