Folks, Where should we place the sources for the OF Flat Device Tree source files? They used to be in U-Boot, but that isn't happening any more.
Why ? While having device-tree's in zImages is good to handle firmwares that can't pass them, I still think that the proper thing to do is to have the firmware provide the DT to the kernel. Did Denk decide once for all against having DTs passed by uboot at all ? In which case, it's probably time to consider a fork...
One semi-obvious place would be to co-locate them with their corresponding Linux arch/powerpc/platform directory. Another would be to have a new directory full of them under, say, arch/powerpc/devtrees or so. Are there other suggestions or better ideas?
