OF_finddevice9

Usage

Overview

OF_finddevice() returns the phandle for the node specified by the path. Returns -1 if the path cannot be found in the tree.

Examples

    phandle_t root, i2c;
    root = OF_finddevice("/");
    i2c = OF_finddevice("/soc/axi/i2c@a0e0000");
    if (i2c != -1) {
        ...
    }

Caveats

The return value should only be checked with equality operators (equal to, not equal to) and not relational comparison (less than, greater than ). There is a discrepancy between IEEE 1275 standard and FreeBSD's internal representation of a phandle: IEEE 1275 requires the return value of this function to be -1 if the path is not found. But phandle_t is an unsigned type, so it cannot be relationally compared with -1 or 0, this comparison is always true or always false.
