Why not just map the FDT R/W at the start and change it to RO just before calling unflatten_device_tree? Then all the FDT scanning functions or any future fixups we need can just assume R/W. That is essentially what Stephen suggested. However, there's no need for a weak function as it can all be done within the arch code. However, I'm still wondering why the FDT needs to be RO in the first place. Rob
