You may define constants as follows:

/define/ TWO 2;
/define/ FOUR 4;
/define/ OTHER FOUR;

And properties may use these values as follows:

foo = <1 TWO 3 FOUR 5>;

I posted this back in early September. I'd like to ask again that this
feature be merged into dtc; there are many situations where it'd allow
.dts files to be simplified.

Yes I agree, it is very useful.

I get conflicts with this - does it need a rebase?

Yes, I should have mentioned this patch is still based on the same commit
it was 3 months ago, and HEAD has moved forward since. If it's deemed
conceptually acceptable, I'll rebase it to HEAD.

(For reference, it's based on ed8fee1 "Add missing tests to .gitignore".)

I haven't seen any other comments. Is this going in? Constants would be useful.

Simon
