Subject: [PATCH v2 04/10] libfdt: overlay: Factor out fixup and fragment path parsing helpers
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 14:46:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028215600.1713475-5-dianders@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028215600.1713475-1-dianders@chromium.org>
In preparation for updating the base device tree's `/__local_fixups__`
node during `fdt_overlay_apply()`, factor out two helper functions in
`libfdt/fdt_overlay.c`:
- Factor out `overlay_parse_fixup_entry()` from
`overlay_fixup_phandle()` to parse `"path:name:offset"` entries in
`/__fixups__` properties.
- Factor out `overlay_split_fragment_path()` from
`overlay_symbol_update()` to validate and split
`"/<fragment>/__overlay__[/<rel>]"` paths into the fragment name and
relative subnode path.
This commit is pure code movement with no functional change.

Changes in v2:
- New patch factoring out overlay_parse_fixup_entry() and
overlay_split_fragment_path() helpers in libfdt/fdt_overlay.c
