A usual board file contains at least one of_machine_is_compatible(). Some of the have a rather long list with complicated version logic. To avoid own implementation for driver management, register the root node of device tree as platform device. So, the main platform bus can attach proper board driver. After this patch a typical board.c file can reuse existing driver infrastructure. After this patch, you will be able to see all registered board drivers with drvinfo as fallow: ... board-embest-riot board-protonic-imx6 machine.of ... With devinfo, you'll be able to get some board specific information, if this is implemented: barebox@Protonic PRTI6Q board:/ devinfo machine.of Driver: board-protonic-imx6 Bus: platform Parameters: boardid: 0 (type: uint32) boardrev: 1 (type: uint32) Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/of/base.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/of/base.c b/drivers/of/base.c index 4754fcb98f..b76e424da0 100644 --- a/drivers/of/base.c +++ b/drivers/of/base.c @@ -2141,6 +2141,7 @@ static void of_probe_memory(void) int of_probe(void) { struct device_node *firmware; + struct device_d *dev; if(!root_node) return -ENODEV; @@ -2157,6 +2158,10 @@ int of_probe(void) if (firmware) of_platform_populate(firmware, NULL, NULL); + dev = of_platform_device_create(root_node, NULL); + if (dev) + dev_set_name(dev, "%s.of", "machine"); + of_clk_init(root_node, NULL); of_platform_populate(root_node, of_default_bus_match_table, NULL); -- 2.27.0 _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
