[PATCH v5 0/4] of: overlay: kobject & sysfs'ation

From: Pantelis Antoniou
Date: Wed Sep 16 2015 - 12:09:22 EST


The first patch puts the overlays as objects in the sysfs in
/sys/firmware/devicetree/overlays.

The next adds a master overlay enable switch (that once is set to
disabled can't be re-enabled), while the one after that
introduces a number of default per overlay attributes.

The patchset is against linus's tree as of today.

The last patch updates the ABI docs for the sysfs entries.

Changes since v4:
* Rebased against latest mainline.

Changes since v3:
* Used strtobool instead of kstrtoul
* ABI Documentation includes a pointer to the discussion that
requested the sysfs property.

Changes since v2:
* Removed the unittest patch.
* Split the sysfs attribute patch to a global and a per-overlay
patch.
* Dropped binary attributes using textual kobj_attributes instead.

Changes since v1:
* Maintainer requested changes.
* Documented the sysfs entries
* Per overlay sysfs attributes.
