Hi Stephen,

My point is that there are probably .dts files using "ok" instead of "okay" or the kernel wouldn't support "ok". People will probably want to use those with U-Boot without changing anything else. So, U-Boot should interpret the FDT in the same way as the kernel.
The kernel has to deal with real Open Firmware systems, some of which pass buggy trees. U-Boot should not blindly imitate all of Linux's workarounds.
OK, how about: return 0 == strncmp(cell, "ok", 2);
(I do feel that if you do this sort of thing you end up with people using 'ok' even in new fdts, since they look at code like this and think it is fine)
Indeed.
