We are trying not to add more of this kind of fixup, as it means someone will have to port it over later. See EVT_FT_FIXUP Regards, Simon

If so, how does this work on platforms which enable livetree? Looking at the code, I see that the EVT_FT_FIXUP gets called only when the livetree is not active. However, I am not able to find any place where the livetree is getting disabled. We do have a function, oftree_to_fdt() which flattens a livetree, but I don't see it getting called from anywhere except from a 'upl' command. The of_root pointer does get set in initr_of_live(), but apart from dm_test_pre_run(), I do not see where we disable the livetree and set of_root to NULL. So on platforms which do enable livetree, how does this fixup work? What am I missing? -sughosh > > Regards, > Simon

It isn't implemented yet for OF_LIVE in image_setup_libfdt(). Most of the code is there though. It just needs to be hooked up - see oftree_to_fdt() and oftree_from_fdt(). The idea would be to remove the of_live_active() check, so the event is always sent (will need to 'select EVENT' for OF_LIVE). Then in that same code, after the event, call oftree_to_fdt() and copy the fdt back to blob. If you have time, it should be a nice mini project and will allow us to migrate more things to the ofnode API. Regards, Simon
