So please do this crap right.
I strongly agree. Nowadays, both powerpc and sparc use an in-memory
copy
of the tree (wether you use the flattened format during the trampoline
from OF runtime to the kernel or not is a different matter, we created
that for the sake of kexec and embedded devices with no real OF, but
the
end result is the same, a kernel based tree structure).
Are you really suggesting that using a kernel copy of the
device tree is the correct thing to do, and the only correct
thing to do -- with the sole argument that "that's what the
current ports do"?
There is already powerpc's /proc/device-tree and sparc's openpromfs,
I'm
all about converging that to a single implementation (a filesystem is
fine)
We all agree on that, the OLPC people too, they just didn't
have time yet.
that uses the in-memory tree.
...but to that I can't agree.
