Patch 2/5 copies the value from ATAG_REVISION into the fdt "/revision" property. If the use of /revision is limited to being a location to hold an ATAG value to pass to the global variable system_rev, then it would make sense to just copy directly from the ATAG value into system_rev in the same board file where you are copying the ATAGs.Agreed. That would be simpler, and avoid a situation where someone relies on the /revision property in DT to be set from the atags compat code (preventing an upgrade to a newer bootloader), or on the system_rev variable to be the same across multiple boot loaders, in the absence of other kernel code setting it.So, set system_rev only for Nokia N900? At same place where is called save_atags()?
Yes. Arnd
