Re: Linus being annoyed by the ARM kernel code

cept: think of the DT as a way of probing a bus that doesn't have probe capabilities. You can argue that C code can produce the same effect as DTs which is true. But that board specific setup code tends to grow and stick its fingers into everything. DTs mitigate that simply because they

Re: Linus being annoyed by the ARM kernel code

ou can remove all board specific code from the kernel. The goal with device trees is to start hacking away at the board specific code and make the piles of it smaller. In the future we may be able to remove it all like on the PC platform. -- Jon Smirl jonsm...@gmail.com _

Re: Linus being annoyed by the ARM kernel code

rnel to load 6,000 different device trees and select one. Instead you want the bootloader to provide the DT and then the kernel just interprets it. If you don't do this then something like Ubuntu can't ship generic kernels. What if Ubuntu has shipped their kernel before your hardware is re

Re: Linus being annoyed by the ARM kernel code

ecific DT makes them easier to write. There's nothing to be gained by adding dozens of CPU specific nodes to a board level device tree. -- Jon Smirl jonsm...@gmail.com ___ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.
