I'll change it for v3 of this patch however it will end up like this:
//SPDX-License...
That should be /* SPDX-License */, // is for c files.
Got any reference for that? Since we're using the C preprocessor before
feeding them to dtc, we can use the same // style for both, builds fine.
Only for my private DT overlay files that I use directly with dtc I
couldn't adopt that style.
We are well past the point of being able to build most dts files with just dtc.
The doc states:
If a specific tool cannot handle the standard comment style, then the
appropriate comment mechanism which the tool accepts shall be used. This
is the reason for having the "/\* \*/" style comment in C header
files.
I interpreted that as dtc doesn't handle // comments, use /**/
It's been so long, I'd forgotten that. Perhaps we should fix dtc to
handle // comments.
But I agree it also states:
.dts{i}: // SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression>
Or we could still change this. The guidelines aren't merged yet.
