In fact thank you for all your efforts. Another question related to dtb and dts. Let's suppose I was able to compile such module (driver). What about dtb? Are dtb files "distribution agnostic"? Or the related dts file should be compiled along the kernel in use? I mean: can I grab a dtb file from another distribution and put it on Fedora? (Yeah! I want to build Frankenstein :-)) Thanks A.
