There is precedence for describing enumerated device in the device tree. Real OpenFirmware platforms can and will enumerate the PCI and USB busses and pass a full tree to the OS. I don't think we want to full enumerating like that with either ACPI or FDT, but we could allow for sparse population of devices when something is fixed like a soldered down USB hub or USB Ethernet MAC. To make it work would probably require a hook in the USB enumeration path to look for matching nodes in DT/ACPI and attach it to the struct device. g. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
