It seemed fairly clear that my approach in these changes could be done better. It effected specifically arm64, but a lot of other platforms use the device tree integrally. With arm64 you can reduce the changes down to only Kconfig changes, and that would likely be the case for many of the other architecture. I made patches to do this a while back, but have not had time to test them and push them out. In terms of mips I think there's a fair amount of work needed to pull out their architecture specific mangling into something generic. Part of my motivation for these was to take the architecture specific feature and open that up for all the architecture. So it makes sense that the mips changes should become part of that. The only changes which have no comments are the generic changes, x86, and powerpc. Those patches have been used at Cisco for years with no issues. I added those changes into my -next tree for a round of testing. Assuming there are no issues I can work out the merging with the architecture maintainers. As for the other changes I think they can be done in time, as long as the generic parts of upstream the rest can be worked on by any of the architecture developers. Daniel
