It is possible that the absolute path will change + in the future, but the symlink is the stable ABI. + + The /proc/device-tree symlink replaces the devicetree /proc + filesystem support, and has largely the same semantics and + should be compatible with existing userspace. + + The contents of /sys/firmware/devicetree/ is a + hierarchy of directories, one per device tree node. The + directory name is the resolved path component name (node + name plus address). Properties are represented as files + in the directory. The contents of each file is the exact + binary data from the device tree. diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..3da0ebdba8d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt @@ -0,0 +1,133 @@ +*** Reserved memory regions *** + +Reserved memory is specified as a node under the /reserved-memory node. +The operating system shall exclude reserved memory from normal usage +one can create child nodes describing particular reserved (excluded from +normal use) memory regions.
