Hi Grant,

Just first obvious thing:

This is used in arch/microblaze/kernel/head.S, but you move its
definition inside "#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" below.  You should probably
replace the include of asm/prom.h in arch/microblaze/kernel/head.S with
linux/of_fdt.h (assuming that the comment in there is correct).

I think you should prune the above. Make it (c) myself since I wrote the
FDT code initially. You can add back (c) of other people as you add more
stuff here I suppose.

No big deal tho.

No problem.  What is the exact copyright text that you'd like to see
here?  I'm not going to guess on other people's copyright notice.  :-)

So, if you're merging all these, I guess the question is do we also
want to merge them with scripts/dtc/libfdt/fdt.h, and by extension
with the upstream libfdt header file which defines the same things.

I see your question and raise you another.  Where should the merge
file live for it to be included both by dtc and kernel code? Or should
it just be cloned in the kernel tree?

Yeah, a good question.  As I see it there are two options.  Number one
is just make sure everything relevant that the kernel needs is in the
libfdt version, then just have the kernel code reference it from its
location in scripts/dtc.  Other option is we clone the file in the
kernel tree.  Requires keeping in sync, in theory at least, but since
that file has been pretty static (since it's only supposed to contain
passive structures/constants related to the physical flat tree
structure - no code or prototypes).
