Soon, in upcoming patches, we will need those functions and more entries will be added into FDTDEC below.
You can add the compat strings when you really need them. Still, with DM, you shouldn't even need them AFAIK.
We have some drivers in these series of patches contain some COMPAT strings, without these compact strings, the compilation would fail due to error compact string is not defined.
All of them ? Mind you, with DM you should not need to add those at all.
I think having compact string would giving us flexbility to put our nodes where we want without worrying to break our existing codes?
Which existing codes ?
let say we have version A, we found the node based on COMPAT STRING. One day, we move the node to somewhere else in version B, we still can find them based on COMPAT STRING without checking the node path. What do you think?
I do not understand what you're trying to tell me here. The DM core will walk the DT and bind drivers according to compat strings, so if you ever move a node, it will still be bound.
Also, you didn't answer my question -- which existing codes do you refer to. Or is this some hypothetical concern ?
existing codes is hypothetical example, when someone move the node somewhere, the DM still can find the node based on COMPAT STRING. Without COMPAT STRING, we need to change the driver code for the node path right?
