Subject: [PATCH] Allow configuration from the devicetree
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:51:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1373453528-3723-1-git-send-email-s.hauer@pengutronix.de> (raw)

Currently even the devicetree enabled boards need C code to
configure where to store the environment. The following series
makes this configurable via devicetree to further reduce the
need of C code for boards.

As I often point out that the devicetree is for hardware description
rather than for configuration, the configuration is done in the
node explicitly intended for configuration: /chosen.

We add a hierarchy /chosen/barebox/ in the devicetree on which
of_platform_populate is called. This allows us to do the configuration
as regular drivers and to reuse a lot of infrastructure. Implementing
this as drivers also has the advantage that the known mechanisms can
be used to consistently change the behaviour of different boards
without breaking old boards.
