Devicetree (DT) ABI
|
||||
|
||||
I. Regarding stable bindings/ABI, we quote from the 2013 ARM mini-summit
|
||||
summary document:
|
||||
|
||||
"That still leaves the question of, what does a stable binding look
|
||||
like? Certainly a stable binding means that a newer kernel will not
|
||||
break on an older device tree, but that doesn't mean the binding is
|
||||
frozen for all time. Grant said there are ways to change bindings that
|
||||
don't result in breakage. For instance, if a new property is added,
|
||||
then default to the previous behaviour if it is missing. If a binding
|
||||
truly needs an incompatible change, then change the compatible string
|
||||
at the same time. The driver can bind against both the old and the
|
||||
new. These guidelines aren't new, but they desperately need to be
|
||||
documented."
|
||||
|
||||
II. General binding rules
|
||||
|
||||
1) Maintainers, don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Don't hold up a
|
||||
binding because it isn't perfect.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Use specific compatible strings so that if we need to add a feature (DMA)
|
||||
in the future, we can create a new compatible string. See I.
|
||||
|
||||
3) Bindings can be augmented, but the driver shouldn't break when given
|
||||
the old binding. ie. add additional properties, but don't change the
|
||||
meaning of an existing property. For drivers, default to the original
|
||||
behaviour when a newly added property is missing.
|
||||
|
||||
4) Don't submit bindings for staging or unstable. That will be decided by
|
||||
the devicetree maintainers *after* discussion on the mailinglist.
|
||||
|
||||
III. Notes
|
||||
|
||||
1) This document is intended as a general familiarization with the process as
|
||||
decided at the 2013 Kernel Summit. When in doubt, the current word of the
|
||||
devicetree maintainers overrules this document. In that situation, a patch
|
||||
updating this document would be appreciated.
