as discuss on IRC I do prefer the struct like we have today on ARM Kernel
with something like this
struct machine {
const char *of_compatible;
u32 machine_id;
int (*pure)(void);
int (*mem)(void);
int (*console)(void);
int (*device)(void);
int (*late)(void);
};
I did it on at91 soc it's clean and speed the boot vs if xxx
I do agree this will requiere some work but this will have the advantage to not be only of related
so arch or board that are not OF can still use it
Best Regards,
J.
