messiness or ambiguity about what they mean.
Plus, each .dts file still specifies the exact version that is
implemented on the board so that the driver can still fixup
version-specific bugs if any are discovered in the future.
Ahh ok.
That does look like a good solution. I'll try and cook something up for
that.
Hi Walter,
Can we use "kind" and "version" attribute of a sopcinfo file to build
the match string? This way, your dts converter won't need update for
each new component.
eg,
kind="altera_avalon_spi" version="9.0" ==> "altera","avalon-spi-9.0"
kind="altera_up_avalon_ps2_classic" version="6.1" ==>
"altera","up-avalon-ps2-classic-6.1"
