For example, if you request a list of regions + * for all nodes but exclude the property "data", then you will get the + * same region contents regardless of any change to "data" properties. + * + * This function can be used to produce a byte-stream to send to a hashing + * function to verify that critical parts of the FDT have not changed. + * + * Nodes which are given in 'inc' are included in the region list, as + * are the names of the immediate subnodes nodes (but not the properties + * or subnodes of those subnodes). + * + * For eaxample "/" means to include the root node, all root properties + * and the FDT_BEGIN_NODE and FDT_END_NODE of all subnodes of /. The latter + * ensures that we capture the names of the subnodes. In a hashing situation + * it prevents the root node from changing at all Any change to non-excluded + * properties, names of subnodes or number of subnodes would be detected. + * + * When used with FITs this provides the ability to hash and sign parts of + * the FIT based on different configurations in the FIT. Then it is + * impossible to change anything about that configuration (include images + * attached to the configuration), but it may be possible to add new + * configurations, new images or new signatures within the existing + * framework. + * + * Adding new properties to a device tree may result in the string table + * being extended (if the new property names are different from those + * already added). This function can optionally include a region for + * the string table so that this can be part of the hash too. + * + * The device tree header is not included in the list. + * + * @fdt: Device tree to check + * @inc: List of node paths to included + * @inc_count: Number of node paths in list + * @exc_prop: List of properties names to exclude + * @exc_prop_count: Number of properties in exclude list + * @region: Returns list of regions + * @max_region: Maximum length of region list + * @path: Pointer to a temporary string for the function to use for + * building path names + * @path_len: Length of path, must be large enough to hold the longest + * path in the tree + * @add_string_tab: 1 to add a region for the string table + * @return number of regions in list.
