[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/1] Dom0less guest device tree format

[Will Abele <will.abele@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Will Abele <will.abele@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,

I've been using dom0less Xen on the Hikey 960 with a 4.14 Linux Kernel. I had
trouble getting the 4.14 Linux Kernel to boot as a dom0less domU because it was
misinterpreting the device tree version. Linux 4.14 and earlier interpret device
trees with a "/" in the root node as version 16. Xen produces a version 17
device tree, so the root node needs to be "" to work with 4.14 and earlier Linux
Kernels. Linux 4.15 and later assume that the version is 17, so this patch does
not have any impact.

Please let me know if you need any more information or have suggestions for
other ways to handle this.

Thanks,
Will

  xen/arm: Use "" instead of "/" for domU root node.
