+void * +dt_find_prop_by_name(void *dt_blob, char *full_name, u32 *val_sizep)Is there a reason you are not using of_get_flat_dt_prop() instead of implementing your own version?Yes. One is in the kernel, one isn't. Or, are you asking why I didn't just copy the kernel code? If so, I probably should have. Hrm, we almost need a library of code shared between the kernel & the bootwrapper. Sort of illegal but it would save duplicating code like the flat dt code. Comments?
Yeah we do. And it's not illegal IMHO as two of our boot wrappers (prom_init and the iSeries one) are linked with the kernel anyway. I think you should write it ;) cheers -- Michael Ellerman IBM OzLabs wwweb: http://michael.ellerman.id.au phone: +61 2 6212 1183 (tie line 70 21183) We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. - S.M.A.R.T Person
