Agreed. > If we need the dynamic node attachment/detachment code to work even when > OF_DYNAMIC is not enabled, we should keep the same implementation but > use a new hidden config option that is CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC | CONFIG_OF_TESTCASES > and put the code there.

It doesn't hurt anything to leave the data in-tree. g. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
