Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/1] Dom0less guest device tree format



Hi Will,

Anything written after -- is usually seen as a signature. This confused my e-mail client as it will strip the signature on reply.

I said in my message that Linux was interpreting the device tree as version 16.
Looking through the code again, I realize it was being interpreted as earlier
than 16. As mentioned in Linux commit a7e4cfb0a7ca4773e7d0dd1d9c018ab27a15360e,
Linux had already broken support for FDT versions earlier than 16.
populate_node() in drivers/of/fdt.c would stop parsing the fdt at the root node
if it thought the fdt version was earlier than 16.

Xen sets the FDT version to 17 in fdt_create().

Thank you for your explanation. However, I still can't match what you say with a specification. Please provide a link to the specification and the exact paragraph.

Cheers,
