I don't see this as a sustainable way forward. If we're going to move a particular SoC over to DT, we need to move the entire SoC over. We can't do this half-heartedly.

And that means we _must_ deal with accepting ATAGs from existing boot loaders, with that information taking precidence over the DT blob supplied with the kernel.

Well... OK. Let's see how this can be accommodated with the existing patch floating around doing that.

I agree that we need to parse the user configurable ATAGs to support existing hardware properly. Otherwise we have edit the .dts for each board to change the user configurable things, which is not nice for distros.

Regards,

Tony
