I like the new structure, but there is one thing that irritates me to no
end: "@"
When I first read the dts without the accompanying discussion, I
completely misunderstood the structure because of the "@". I thought the
"@" really meant "at" in the sense that it refers to the address of the
parent entity, e.g "[EMAIL PROTECTED],0" means "the pci device at bus 0,0".
However,
the true meaning/translation of "@" seems to be "device with
address/number", e.g. "[EMAIL PROTECTED],0" means "pci device with address 0,0".
Can we please have another separator like "-" or ":" or "_"? All of
those alternative separators convey the meaning better.
A patch with a changed separator would be really appreciated.
