mainlining shenanigans
e42ee61017
Referencing device tree nodes from a property allows to pass arguments.
This is for example used for referencing gpios. This looks as follows:
gpio_ctrl: gpio-controller {
#gpio-cells = <2>
...
}
someothernode {
gpios = <&gpio_ctrl 5 0 &gpio_ctrl 3 0>;
...
}
To know the number of arguments this must be either fixed, or the
referenced node is checked for a $cells_name (here: "#gpio-cells")
property and with this information the start of the second reference can
be determined.
Currently regulators are referenced with no additional arguments. To
allow some optional arguments without having to change all referenced
nodes this change introduces a way to specify a default cell_count. So
when a phandle is parsed we check for the $cells_name property and use
it as before if present. If it is not present we fall back to
cells_count if non-negative and only fail if cells_count is smaller than
zero.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
