Added function, fdt_setprop_reg(), will be used later to handle kexec-specific property in arm64's kexec_file implementation. It will possibly be merged into libfdt in the future.You generally can't modify libfdt files. Any changes will be blown away with the next dtc sync (there's one in -next now). Though here you are creating a new location with fdt code. lib/ is just a shim to the actual libfdt code. Don't put any implementation there. You can add this to drivers/of/fdt_address.c for the short term, but it still needs to go upstream. Otherwise, the implementation looks fine to me.
I agree, but I don't think there's a real need for us to hack drivers/of/fdt_address.c in the meantime -- let's just target upstream and not carry this in the kernel. Akashi -- for now, I'll drop the kdump parts of this series which rely on this helper. The majority of the series is actually independent and can go in as-is. I've pushed out a kexec branch to the arm64 tree for you to take a look at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git/log/?h=kexec Thanks, Will _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
