2011-07-14libfdt: Implement property iteration functionsDavid Gibson
For ages, we've been talking about adding functions to libfdt to allow iteration through properties. So, finally, here are some. I got bogged down on this for a long time because I didn't want to expose offsets directly to properties to the callers. But without that, attempting to make reasonable iteration functions just became horrible. So eventually, I settled on an interface which does now expose property offsets. fdt_first_property_offset() and fdt_next_property_offset() are used to step through the offsets of the properties starting from a particularly node offset. The details of the property at each offset can then be retrieved with either fdt_get_property_by_offset() or fdt_getprop_by_offset() which have interfaces similar to fdt_get_property() and fdt_getprop() respectively. No explicit testcases are included, but we do use the new functions to reimplement the existing fdt_get_property() function.

2011-07-14Support ePAPR compliant phandle propertiesDavid Gibson
Currently, the Linux kernel, libfdt and dtc, when using flattened device trees encode a node's phandle into a property named "linux,phandle". The ePAPR specification, however - aiming as it is to not be a Linux specific spec - requires that phandles be encoded in a property named simply "phandle". This patch adds support for this newer approach to dtc and libfdt. Specifically: - fdt_get_phandle() will now return the correct phandle if it is supplied in either of these properties - fdt_node_offset_by_phandle() will correctly find a node with the given phandle encoded in either property. - By default, when auto-generating phandles, dtc will encode it into both properties for maximum compatibility. A new -H option allows either only old-style or only new-style properties to be generated. - If phandle properties are explicitly supplied in the dts file, dtc will not auto-generate ones in the alternate format. - If both properties are supplied, dtc will check that they have the same value. - Some existing testcases are updated to use a mix of old and new-style phandles, partially testing the changes. - A new phandle_format test further tests the libfdt support, and the -H option.
