DO NOT REPLY TO ALL LISTS PLEASE ! (and CC me on replies).

Here's the fourth version of my document along with new kernel patches
for the new improved flattened format, and the first release of the
device-tree "compiler" tool. The patches will be posted as a reply to
this email. The compiler, dtc, can be downloaded, the URL is in the
document.

IV - "dtc", the device tree compiler
====================================
quoted
dtc source code can be found at
<http://ozlabs.org/~dgibson/dtc/dtc.tar.gz>
I've just updated the dtc tarball with a new version.  Notable
changes:
	- Corrected comment parsing
	- Corrected handling of #address-cells, #size-cells properties
	- Input from device tree blobs should actually work now
	- Corrected autogeneration of "name" properties in blob/asm
	  output version < 0x10
	- Added a TODO list
And yet another.  Notable changes:
	- Basic generation of the reserve map in blob output, use -R
	  command line option to leave space for a number of reserve
	  map entries to be filled in by bootloader.
	- Rewrite blob and assembler output to better share code, and
	  produce more readable assembler output.
