I wonder how would this handle uniprocessor ARM (pre-v7) cores, for which the updated bindings[1] define #address-cells = <0> and so no reg property. [1] - http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/260795Why did you do that in the binding ? That sounds like looking to create problems ...
[Copying Lorenzo...] I'm not the author of the change. I was just passing by, while the question showed up in my mind. ;)
Traditionally, UP setups just used "0" as the "reg" property on other architectures, why do differently ?
Right, especially since the ARM DT topology parsing code still considers a device tree without reg property in cpu node invalid. Best regards, Tomasz
