When Linux is booted as a guest under the Gunyah hypervisor, the Gunyah
Resource Manager applies a devicetree overlay describing the virtual
platform configuration of the guest VM, such as the message queue
capability IDs for communicating with the Resource Manager. This
information is not otherwise discoverable by a VM: the Gunyah hypervisor
core does not provide a direct interface to discover capability IDs nor
a way to communicate with RM without having already known the
corresponding message queue capability ID. Add the DT bindings that
Gunyah adheres for the hypervisor node and message queues.

Wrap at 80. That is the coding standard still though 100 is deemed
allowed. And yamllint only complains at 110 because I didn't care to fix
everyones lines over 100.

2 compatibles implies a difference between the 2. What's the difference?
Where does '1.0' come from?

There's no difference. I thought the convention was to have
device-specific compatible and the generic compatible. "device-specific"
here would be specific to version of Gunyah since it's software.

No, that's just what people do because "vendor,new-soc",
"vendor,old-soc" seems to bother them for some reason. At the end of
the day, it's just a string identifier that means something. If
there's no difference in that 'something', then there is no point in
having more than one string.

You only need something specific enough to discover the rest from the
firmware. When that changes, then you add a new compatible. Of course,
if you want existing OSs to work, then better not change the
compatible.

Thanks for the info, I'll drop the "-1.0" suffix.

You still did not answer from where does 1.0 come from... Compatibles
are usually expected to be specific.

The 1.0 comes from the Gunyah version. This is the same version returned 
by "hyp_identify" hypercall.

Then dropping 1.0 makes sense - your SW provides auto-detection.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
