This series proposes a new way to deal with alias nodes and introduces a function to take care of it.

It includes an example of converting USB code over to use this new function.

Note: At present it does not deal automatically with disabled nodes, but perhaps it should? Or perhaps this is better as an option. Something to leave for later perhaps.

Note 2: The actual logic of this function is not properly tested yet.

Simon Glass (2):
fdt: Add fdtdec_find_aliases() to deal with alias nodes
tegra: Use fdtdec_find_aliases() to find USB ports

Hi,

what's the status of this patch/patchset?

I believe it is sitting in the tegra tree ready for a pull request, but waiting on USB. Tom will know.

Simon is correct. The 18 fdt/USB patches (v5 and 2 from v6) are sitting in u-boot-tegra/test waiting on a final ACK for one clock binding DT change from Simon based on Stephen's review. As Simon says in answer to a separate email, he's working on getting all these to jibe so that I can apply them cleanly to u-boot-tegra. As soon as they're ready, I'll apply & test and if all goes well, submit a pull request. Then we can move on the I2C, LCD, kbd, etc. for Tegra2.
