Thanks to all +contributors! + +Changes: +* libdt: fix leaks of memory returned by read_file() calls +* libdt: xzalloc: die on failure, like the similar-named kernel function +* libdt: add of_property_write_string() as a convenience function to set a property to a string +* libdt: add dev_set_name() as a convenience function to set a device's name +* state: harmonize our implementation with upstream barebox: + - Fixes: + . backend_bucket_circular: fix the case when write size is not a power of 2 + . backend_bucket_circular: fix length check when reading old state format + . backend_bucket_circular: fix two memory leaks + . backend_storage: don't refresh the storage needlessly + . fix error return value when state_new_from_node() cannot resolve a phandle + . fix use-after-free in state_backend_format_dtb_pack() + . make finding the backend node more robust by using its reproducible name + . remove checks for xzalloc() returning NULL, which cannot happen + . do not complain about missing backend-storage-type, which is irrelevant for mtd devices + - Potentially breaking changes: + . make pointing to the backend using a phandle the only supported method + . state nodes without an alias in the /aliases/ node now lead to an error. barebox already creates + a missing alias in the fixupped device tree automatically since v2017.06.0. + . refuse to set the read-only 'dirty' state variable + . remove unused arguments from state_new_from_node() + - New features: + . add new 'init_from_defaults' state variable to allow detection whether a state has been + initialized from default values, i.e. state_load() failed. + . add an internal variable to protect existing data in a state bucket and make updates of the + state implementation more robust + . add new function state_read_mac() to read a MAC address from state + . notify when the old state format is detected (this was previously a debugging message) + . provide an error message when an error occurs in state_convert_node_variable() + . add more debugging messages + - port several changes to barebox's fixup functions, but since device trees are already fixupped at + boot time, this code is never used by dt-utils + - some further minor refactoring as well fixing some typos and documentation comments + dt-utils 2018.05.1 ================== change project mail to oss-tools@pengutronix.de |
