I changed the api so that the user could link in a random number of dtbs _without_ hardcoding the addresses. Searching by the compatible string was the easiest way to accomplish this. Unfortunately, I didn't know his compatible strings when I made the change. For the curious, the code that does this is here: https://github.com/zonque/pxa-impedance-matcher/blob/master/dtbs.c We plan to add dtb parsing in the future so that we can change the dtb based on the atags passed by the legacy bootloader.
... and then we can also specifically look into the compatible node of the dtb, and not just do a string search over the entire binary. But for now, it's good enough. Daniel
