Fix fdt set command to conform to dts spec
The fdt set command was treating properties specified as <00> and <0011> as byte streams, rather than as an array of cells. As we already have syntax for expressing the desire for a stream of bytes ([ xx xx ...]), we should use the <> syntax to describe arrays of cells, which are always 32-bits per element. If we imagine this likely (IMHO) scenario: > fdt set /ethernet-phy@1 reg <1> With the old code, this would create a bad fdt, since the reg cell would be made to be one byte in length. But the cell must be 4 bytes, so this would break mysteriously. Also, the dts spec calls for constants inside the angle brackets (<>) to conform to C constant standards as they pertain to base. Take this scenario: > fdt set /ethernet@f00 reg <0xe250000\ 0x1000> The old fdt command would complain that it couldn't parse that. Or, if you wanted to specify that a certain clock ran at 33 MHz, you'd be required to do this: > fdt set /mydev clock <1f78a40> Whereas the new code will accept decimal numbers. While I was in there, I extended the fdt command parser to handle property strings which are split across multiple arguments: > fdt set /ethernet@f00 interrupts < 33 2 34 2 36 2 > > fdt p /ethernet@f00 ethernet@f00 { interrupts = <0x21 0x2 0x22 0x2 0x24 0x2>; }; Lastly, the fdt print code was rearranged slightly to print arrays of cells if the length of the property is a multiple of 4 bytes, and to not print leading zeros.
