as loff_t is a 64 bit value, it seems to me to a simple assignment

It has proved a good idea in general as I can easily get an exact

/proc/device-tree
and in some case, the data in there -is- binary (For example, the EDID
properties for monitors left by video drivers, or things like that).
Yes and with
There is one big problem: text representation is useless
(to scripts etc.) unless it can be transformed back to binary;
i.e., it has to be possible to reliably detect _how_ some
property is represented into text, something that cannot be
done with how openpromfs handles it.
Text is text is text
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
In addition, I haven't given on the idea one day of actually merging
the
powerpc and sparc implementation of a lot of that stuff. Mostly the
device-tree accessors proper, the of_device/of_platform bits etc...
into
something like drivers/of1394 maybe.
1394? :-)
Thus if i386 is going to
Except that none of the powerpc platforms can keep OF alive after the
kernel has booted, which is why we do an in-memory copy of the tree.
Adding that functionality hasn't gotten easier at all since
we use the flattened tree for everything, heh.
We have well defined interfaces to access that
IMHO, the directory entries in the filesystem
should be in the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] (eg: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0,
pci is the node name, @ is the separator character defined

They should be. The problem is buggy
Simple system tools should not need to interpret binary data in
order to provide access to simple structured data like this, that's
just stupid.
I would agree with you if the data was properly typed in the first
place
but it's not,

Hi,
I'm using a shared root environment and therefore linked /etc/mtab

Now I found the following behaviour:

is mounting all filesystems with bind options in the fstab
everytime the command mount -a
Hi!
Should it instead say that's an (obviously unchecked) error?
Saying it is an error would be okay by me. (Or Behaviour of these calls for
GPIOs that can't be safely accessed without sleeping is undefined.).
See the appended doc patch ... better?
Yes, thanks.

This is definitly wrong. This is a header file for a specific driver.

Or would it?
Async merge to sync request should be ok. But I wonder what happens with
hdparm, since it seems to trigger one of these tests. Very puzzling.
I'll dive in and take a look.
