56 In 2005, when PowerPC Linux began a major cleanup and to merge 32-bit
57 and 64-bit support, the decision was made to require DT support on all
61 blob without requiring a real Open Firmware implementation.  U-Boot,

130 Where "ti,omap3-beagleboard-xm" specifies the exact model, it also

199 The bootargs property contains the kernel arguments, and the initrd-*
