Are the numbers in cell-index global anyway, or relative to some parent device (I couldn't find the documentation for this). Segher

Reading that code it looks like the recent entry wins and the older entry is moved to the next available index. The numbers in cell-index are not global nor explicitly relative to a parent device. I also could not find documentation on this. In common usage, however, the cell-index property is used in two different ways: 1. For devices that have "channels" or "regions" (DMA for example), the parent device node has child nodes enumerated by cell-index. For example see: arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/pq3-dma-0.dtsi 2. For multiple instances of a device, for example UARTS, each device node is enumerated using cell-index. See: arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/qoriq-duart-0.dtsi Cheers, Curt

Thanks for the pointer. -Curt

I also could not find documentation on this. That sounds like it should work then. It does change behaviour for existing configs. Thanks, Segher

The cell-index > property is widely used in all the Freescale .dts files for PowerPC. If cell-index is already present in the dtbs, then this is okay. Otherwise use aliases. cell-index is pretty much deprecated. Rob

Currently for PowerPC systems using device tree, the legacy serial ports are allocated in the order by which they are found in the device tree structure. This can cause problems in cases where the device tree nodes are sysnthesized by an external program (kexec for example), which may not preserve the original order of the device tree nodes. This in turn can result in the serial console changing from ttyS0 to ttyS1 unexpectedly. This patch uses the 'cell-index' property (if present) to map UART device tree nodes to legacy serial port number. The cell-index property is widely used in all the Freescale .dts files for PowerPC.
