Yeah, partitioning information really doesn't belong in the device tree -- with the possible exception of the partitions that the firmware (uboot in this case) needs to know about anyway. You *can* put all partitioning info in the device tree, but that doesn't mean you *should* :-) Segher _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
