[PATCH 0/4] of: remove *phandle properties from expanded device tree

From: frowand . list
Date: Fri Apr 14 2017 - 23:56:43 EST


From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx>

Remove "phandle" and "linux,phandle" properties from the internal
device tree. The phandle will still be in the struct device_node
phandle field.

This is to resolve the issue found by Stephen Boyd [1] when he changed
the type of struct property.value from void * to const void *. As
a result of the type change, the overlay code had compile errors
where the resolver updates phandle values.

Patch 1 is the phandle related changes.

Patches 2 - 4 are minor fixups for issues that became visible
while implementing patch 1.

Frank Rowand (4):
of: remove *phandle properties from expanded device tree
of: make __of_attach_node() static
of: be consistent in form of file mode
of: detect invalid phandle in overlay
