PATCH 2/5 ARM: NSP: add minimal Northstar Plus device tree

Add a very minimalistic set of Northstar Plus Device Tree files which describes the SoC and the BCM958625 implementation. The perpherials described are:

ARM Cortex A9 CPU
2 8250 UARTs
ARM GIC
PL310 L2 Cache
ARM A9 Global timer

PATCH 2/5 ARM: NSP: add minimal Northstar Plus device tree

Hi,

I'm not sure what the strategy behind your cc:ing on this patch set is. I only got a couple of them in my inbox, and this one wasn't one of them. :)

Seeing reviewed-by already attached to a v1 of a patchset has limited value for someone on the outside.

Reviewed-by is one of those tags that has a value that's mostly dependent on who it comes from. By not actually seeing the review and the feedback provided (and revisions made), less data is provided to tell if it's a valuable review or not.

Also, if you're posting the code you should probably have your name below Kapil's, since you're the one signing off the origin of the code. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches.txt for details on what S-o-b actually means.

I recommend using labels here instead so you don't have to mirror the DT layout to get the updated property right.

I.e.

&uart1 {

I sent them to the people listed as maintainers in get_maintainer.pl. It didn't seem to include you in all of them, but I thought the mailing list would be enough of a catch all. My apologies. I'll CC everyone listed as a maintainer on all of the patches in the future.

I was following the precedent in arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm-cygnus.dtsi. If this is preferred to be GPL v2, then I will happily comply.

It mounts rootfs. I am adding the rootfs to the kernel and device tree blob via the u-boot mkimage command. It boots all the way to shell without issue.

Seeing reviewed-by already attached to a v1 of a patchset has limited value for someone on the outside.

Reviewed-by is one of those tags that has a value that's mostly dependent on who it comes from. By not actually seeing the review and the feedback provided (and revisions made), less data is provided to tell if it's a valuable review or not.

Quoted 4 lines

Also, if you're posting the code you should probably have your name below Kapil's, since you're the one signing off the origin of the code. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches.txt for details on what S-o-b actually means.

We worked on it together, but I'll be happy to reorder as you suggest.

I was following the precedent in arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm-cygnus.dtsi. If this is preferred to be GPL v2, then I will happily comply.

No, we'd rather have BSD-only than GPL-only, so keeping it as it is should be OK.

No way to mount a root filesystem yet? How much work remains for that to be possible, and what's the plan for that?

It mounts rootfs. I am adding the rootfs to the kernel and device tree blob via the u-boot mkimage command. It boots all the way to shell without issue.

Sure, any system with memory can use ramdisk for root, that's not what I meant.

Still, based on post from Scott it sounds like NAND support isn't far away.

This is the bare bones DTS. I'm sure Jon will activate NAND once tested
- it "should" work with the same driver that Cygnus and STB chips use.

I recommend using labels here instead so you don't have to mirror the DT layout to get the updated property right.

I.e.

Best of all is to do more work in public, including sending the acks on the list.

If you look around, it's relatively unusual that people post pre-acked or pre-reviewed patches, even corporate contributors.

No way to mount a root filesystem yet? How much work remains for that to be possible, and what's the plan for that?

This is the bare bones DTS. I'm sure Jon will activate NAND once tested - it "should" work with the same driver that Cygnus and STB chips use.

Ok, good. I've found there to be a slight drawback in upstreaming a system dtb before there's basic device support since it can't be used to determine whether a board is expected to have basic functionality or not.

As long as it's in progress there's no big reason to hold off though.
