u-boot has support for a number of boards for which a dts file still needs to be written, add minimal dts files for these boards so that we can switch them over to device-model / fdt.
Can these minimal things not be submitted to mainline regardless? I mean they are factually accurate descriptions of the h/w so far as they go, so why not?
These are not tested on the actual boards,
Not even with u-boot?
I must admit that they are not even tested with u-boot.
Can we CC the people listed in board/sunxi/MAINTAINERS as responsible for the relevant boards and get them tested?
That is a good idea, I will mail them to test things once the dust has settled a bit (wrt the merge window) and I'll also ask them to write full dts files for the upstream kernel.
and Maxime will not take untested dts patches.
I presume/hope here you mean "completely untested" as opposed to "not tested with Linux"? (Otherwise I'm going to have a little hissy fit on some other list ;-))
Yes I mean completely untested :)
- [...] for u-boot only
These aren't really "for u-boot only", they are still generic facts about the board, just perhaps a bit incomplete.
They lack mmc controller info for one, so no rootfs support on many boards, iow not really useful. I'm afraid that we will just have to live with these ones, and not accept any new boards unless they come with a proper dts (which has been submitted upstream).
Hopefully over time these will get a proper dts too.
