And because targeting early stages people will be without console. I think we should have transition period for 1-2 releases to give people enough time to migrate. It means print big warning that they have to migrate their DTS.
What's the migration case here we're missing? Is it platforms that maintain a dts externally, via tooling / etc, that populate those nodes?
Yes and I expect there will be a lot of DTs around with some changes for specific products.
Also for example QEMU is also generating DT based on it's configuration and provide it to U-Boot. https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/hw/arm/xlnx-versal-virt.c... When this patch is applied CI loop should fail for Versal.
I am not sure how it helps us to drag this out. It is a breaking change, but a drawn-out process is just going to create a lot of confusion. People should be free to use the schema in Linux .dts files from now on, but if it is not immediately supported in U-Boot then they cannot. This is the most important point, after all.
For QEMU, where to start... I already sent a patch to fix this problem[1]. I spent considerable effort and time developing it and trying to explain the need for it and why it is wrong for QEMU to assume it knows what needs to be sent to U-Boot. The QEMU maintainer took no real interest in it, just suggesting a workaround or an impractical solution in U-Boot. There was even support from saomLinaro, to no avail. I hate to be proved right, but QEMU seems to have taken a middle path...not accepting the patch but instead accepting the now 'old' U-Boot tags. So I will reiterate that QEMU should accept that patch as it will solve a lot of problems, providing an 'escape route' for people to fix problems without recompiling QEMU. Failing that, time will heal.
