[PATCH v4 0/3] of: overlay: load overlay symbols into live device tree

Show all headers | View raw

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sony.com>

Symbols in a loaded overlay are not currently available to subsequently
loaded overlays because the properties in the overlay's __symbols__
node are not loaded into the live device tree.

Patch 1 is unittests to test patches 2 and 3.

Patch 2 fixes a problem discovered while developing patch 3.  If
a node name in an overlay has a unit-address then the overlay
code does not correctly match the node name against an existing
node in the live tree.

Patch 3 adds the properties in an overlay's __symbol__ node to
the overlay changeset.

changes since v3:
  - fix make W=2 warnings in overlay_base.dts and overlay.dts
  - update the test results in the patch comments to match the
    .dts changes

changes since v2:
  - test on 4.13-rc1
  - remove redundant comments from patch headers of patch 0 and patch 1
  - guard make of overlay .dtb files with CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY
  - guard unittest.c references to overlay .dtb files with
    CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY

changes since v1:
  - patch 2: Use for_each_child_of_node() instead of open coding,
    which allowed removing the new function child_by_full_name().



Frank Rowand (3):
  of: overlay: add overlay unittest data for node names and symbols
  of: overlay: correctly apply overlay node with unit-address
  of: overlay: add overlay symbols to live device tree
