SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================================== +SoC Platforms with DTS Compliance Requirements +============================================== + +Overview +-------- + +SoC platforms or subarchitectures should follow all the rules from +Documentation/process/maintainer-soc.rst. This document referenced in +MAINTAINERS impose additional requirements listed below. + +Strict DTS DT Schema and dtc Compliance +--------------------------------------- + +No changes to the SoC platform Devicetree sources (DTS files) should introduce +new ``make dtbs_check W=1`` warnings. Warnings in a new board DTS, which are +results of issues in an included DTSI file, are considered existing, not new +warnings. For series split between different trees (DT bindings go via driver +subsystem tree), warnings on linux-next are decisive. The platform maintainers +have automation in place which should point out any new warnings. + +If a commit introducing new warnings gets accepted somehow, the resulting +issues shall be fixed in reasonable time (e.g. within one release) or the +commit reverted. |
