> Are you saying that FreeBSD has a different set of bindings for the > same hardware? Yes. I was not even aware FreeBSD was using DT until somebody mentioned it in Edinburgh. As an example: http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/boot/fdt/dts/sheevaplug.dts compared with http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.12.6/arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood-sheevaplug.dts http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.12.6/arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood-sheevaplug-common.dtsi http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.12.6/arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood-6281.dtsi http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.12.6/arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood.dtsi > That would be rather unfortunate and we should probably > try to merge the bindings eventually and make sure that either OS can > boot with any conforming DTB It probably requires one of the DT maintainers to talk to FreeBSD equivalents to get some coordination going. We have a lot of generic stuff, like gpio keys, gpio leds, cpu nodes, mtd partitions, etc, which could be done at a high level, and then SoC specific nodes sorted out between individual developers. > On the example of missing clocks, it should work as long as all relevant > clocks are enabled by the boot loader and the clock properties are > optional the binding. However, not all clocks are optional. We need the clock in order to know how fast it ticks. So at least the serial ports and i2c will not work, and maybe other devices, i would have to check.
