Highlights:
- Bugfix for order in which /delete-node/ and /delete-property/ are
processed [0]
- /omit-if-no-ref/ support has been added (used only by U-Boot at this
point, in theory)
- GPL dtc compat version bumped to 1.4.7
- Various small fixes and compatibility improvements

MFC after: 1 week
Notable fixes:
- Overlays may now be generated properly without -@
- /__local_fixups__ were not including unit address in their structure
- The error reporting a magic token was misleading, reporting
"Bad magic token in header. Got d00dfeed expected 0xd00dfeed"
if the token was missing. This has been split out into a separate message.
MFC after: 1 week
Highlights:
- Passing "-" to -o will now cause output to go to stdout
- Path-based syntactic sugar for overlays is now accepted. This looks like:
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;
&{/soc} {
sid: eeprom@1c14000 {
compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3-sid";
reg = <0x1c14000 0x400>;
status = "okay";
};
};
MFC after: 3 days
Highlights of this update:
- /__local_fixups__ is now generated to be GPL dtc and libfdt compliant
- Compiling with -@ will now cause dtc to assign phandles to all labelled
nodes
- /include/ and /incbin/ now handle absolute paths correctly
- The manpage now has information about overlays, including how to apply
them and how to generate them
- Syntactic sugar for overlays is now supported, allowing an overlay DTS
like:
=
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;
&foo {
foo,status = "okay";
};
=
to generate a fragment targetting <&foo>.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
- Add "compatible with gpl dtc X.Y.Z" to version output so U-Boot doesn't complain
- Fix cross reference node
This fixes some Allwinner DTS (and probably others).
- Report missing includes at the correct location.
- Add initial support for the -@ option emitting a symbol table.
- Add support for running tests with and without -@
- Add support for generating __fixups__ and __local_fixups__
- Attach the to-string transform to the node path.
In C, strchr(3) returns a char*, whereas C++ defines two overloads:
* const char *strchr(const char*, int)
* char *strchr(char*, int)
Building fdt.cc (with the WITHOUT_GPL_DTC knob set) with libc++ 3.9.0 (imported
in r309124) was failing because libc++ r260377 added the first overload to
string.h, leading to failures such as:
fdt.cc:1638:8: error: cannot initialize a variable of type 'char *' with an
rvalue of type 'const char *'
Just define val as a const char* to fix it.

GPL'd one is still available if there are any devices that need it (make
universe passes with it, including kernels that use fdt, but there may be some
out-of-tree ones). WITH_GPL_DTC can be used to select the old one, for now.
Probably won't be MFC'd, but we'll remove the GPL'd version in head after the
new one has had a lot more testing and ship it in 10.0.
