[PATCH v4 2/2] vmbus: retrieve connection-id from DeviceTree
From: Hardik Garg
Date: Thu Jun 19 2025 - 19:07:46 EST
The connection-id determines which hypervisor communication channel the
guest should use to talk to the VMBus host. This patch adds support to
read this value from the DeviceTree where it exists as a property under
the vmbus node with the compatible ID "microsoft,message-connection-id".
The property name follows the format <vendor>,<field> where
"vendor": "microsoft" and "field": "message-connection-id"
Reading from DeviceTree allows platforms to specify their preferred
communication channel, making it more flexible. If the property is
not found in the DeviceTree, use the default connection ID
(VMBUS_MESSAGE_CONNECTION_ID or VMBUS_MESSAGE_CONNECTION_ID_4
based on protocol version).
