Hi,

can someone tell me usage of OF_DYNAMIC?
How this can be used by user?

Is it possible to exchange device node?
Add new one, delete one, etc?

Any user guide/log will be helpful to see what I can do with it.

2nd question on OF_DYNAMIC in a week... I haven't really looked at it. I
would suggest looking at the existing users (only powerpc iseries and
pseries). My concern using would be that the reference counting is not
correct for many drivers as of_node_get/put is a nop without OF_DYNAMIC.

Agree, I know that reference counting is not correct for many drivers.

Thanks,
Michal
