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.

- Added an expression parser so that expressions from headers are now working
- Fixed missing null terminators on cross references
- Disabled exceptions / RTTI in the build for smaller binaries
- Changed phandle order generation to be identical to GPL'd dtc
- Various fixes to includes (including recursive includes)
- Lots of testing that the output exactly matches GPL'd dtc
- Lots of bug fixes to merging
- Fix incorrect mmap usage
- Ad-hoc memory management replaced with C++11 unique_ptr and similar
Patrick Wildt has successfully run many (all?) of the GPL dtc test suite.
be used on the host system (and not installed on the device, if required). The
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.
