Re: [PATCH v2 02/19] OpenRISC: Device tree

From: Segher Boessenkool

The OpenRISC architecture uses the device tree infrastructure for the
platform description.

Hurray, world domination is one step closer ;-)

+ memory {
+ device_type = "memory";
+ reg = <0x00000000 0x8000000>;
+ };

Might want to write this as 0x08000000 (easier to read).

+ cpus {
+ cpu@0 {

Any node with a textual unit address (@0) needs to have a "reg" property
with the same address (and then the parent node, "cpus", should have
#address-cells and #size-cells defined, probably to 1 and 0 resp. in this
case).

You can just name the node "cpu" here.

+ pic: pic@0 {
+ compatible = "opencores,or1k-pic";
+ #interrupt-cells = <1>;
+ interrupt-controller;
+ };

Same thing here. Although, does your interrupt controller have any registers?
You should describe them then.

+
+ serial0: serial@90000000 {
+ /* FIXME: device_type is still needed here...
+ should remove requirement from of_serial driver */
+ device_type = "serial";
+ compatible = "opencores,uart", "ns16550a";

Opencores has and always will have only one UART implementation? You should
make the "compatible" name more specific ("opencores,uart-16550a" perhaps).

+ enet0: ethoc@92000000 {
+ compatible = "opencores,ethoc", "ethoc";

Probably shouldn't have the "ethoc" there, way too generic a name.

+ reg = <0x92000000 0x53>;

0x53? Usually you write the size of the register block that is decoded,
not just the size of the defined registers; so it would be 0x100 or something
like that.
