I am going to add your binding, less the #clock-cells which U-Boot
currently can't support because it conflicts with the C preprocessor
(at some point I may look at a patch to use sed or some other means of
avoiding this).

Out of curiosity, why does the C preprocessor come into it? Is U-Boot's
build process running cpp on the .dts files or something? That's non-
standard, although perhaps it could be a useful standard...

Yes, but at the moment we only use it for '/include/ ARCH_CPU_DTS'.

Uggh. That's going to make the device tree files look different between
the kernel and U-Boot:-( With # disallowed in particular, it's going to
prevent U-Boot from /ever/ using the correct protocols for parsing the
device tree. This seems like an extremely bad idea.

Until we change it in U-Boot, you mean. We could move to sed or pre-
and post-process the file to remove and re-insert the #.

Still hoping your symbolic stuff will go in though.

That looks extremely unlikely in its current form. Ideally, I will get
time to take Jon's or David's patches and push one of them forward to
provide a more complete solution, but it's a very long way out either way.

That's a shame.

Regards,
Simon
