Deleting the irrelevant parts or picking a device tree to pass to
fdt_init() are both reasonable solutions. libfdt which is included in
the bootwrapper has functions for removing unwanted nodes: either
fdt_nop_node() or fdt_del_node() will suffice. There isn't currently
a dt_ops hook to call though to those functions though. You could
either add one, or (knowing that your platform always has a flat dt)
bypass the dt_ops hooks and call libfdt directly.
Thanks. The fdt_del_node approach works pretty nicely. I added a
dt_ops hook since fdt is static in libfdt-wrapper.c.
At first I tried fdt_nop_node, fearing that find_node_by_prop_value()
and fdt_del_node() would interact badly when deleting in mid-traversal,
but it turns out that fdt_nop_node() upsets find_node_by_prop_value()
anyway. Plus, the kernel prints harmless but strange messages when
there are NOPs in the tree. So I use fdt_del_node() and rescan from
the top each time I delete a node and it works fine.
/* Find all product-dependent nodes and delete inapplicable ones. */
dev = NULL;
while ((dev = find_node_by_prop_value(dev,
product-dependent,
, 0)) != NULL) {
u32 mask;
int len;
len = getprop(dev, productmask, mask, sizeof mask);
if (len == sizeof mask) {
if ((mask (1 product_id)) == 0) {
del_node(dev);
/* Have to restart from the beginning. */
dev = NULL;
}
}
}
I had to fix the memcmp bug I mentioned in an earlier posting to allow
searching for a boolean (empty) property.
If anyone cares, below is a trivial patch to expose the del_node()
operation via dt_ops.
Thanks again,
