GSoC 2023: Device tree bindings
Device tree
Device tree is a tree structured data describes devices on a board. This is used by operating system's kernel in order to manage a computer hardware components including cpus, buses and external peripherals.
Device tree bindings
A device tree bindings file offers information about the properties supported by Linux kernel device tree blob.
Location for this documents is under Documentation/devicetree/bindings/
Proposal 1: Convert device tree bindings to DT schema
Historically device tree bindings where written in plain .txt files. These files serve only as documentation but they cannot really be used to validate the syntax used in device tree files.
In order to improve validation of dts files, Linux kernel switched to writing device tree bindings using json-schema.
Code license: GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause
The project is considered successful if the code is accepted into mainline Linux kernel tree.
