[sorry if this is the wrong list, please direct me to the right one as needed]

I'm trying to get my head wrapped around FDT to understand how UEFI firmware 
can produce this (and possibly use it internally) and pass it to the OS.

I've been trying to find the authoritative specification describing DT and FDT. 
 My experience searching resulted in a lot of dead links.  Is the spec the 
ePAPR specification?  How does this specification get updated to provide 
compatibility or enhancements that the current spec does not address like ARM 
architecture additions?

Also is there a central registry, if any, of strings for vendors or compatible 
hardware?  For example if I have a property 'compatible = "hp,widget123";' who 
determines whether 'hp' standard for Hewlett-Packard or Henry's Pickles?  Along 
the same lines if there is a standard interface like a "gic" where is the 
spec/document describing what a "gic" is and how is it updated?

Sorry for the newbie DT questions... I guess I've been spoiled by the UEFI spec 
providing all the information I've needed in the past in once place.  :)

Thanks,

Eugene
