So far, I see the DT usage concern which may impact the architecure a lot, so I should raise it ASAP. The concern raised by the DT maintainer: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fpga/CAL_JsqLod6FBGFhu7WXtMrB_z7wj8-up0EetM1QS9M3gjm8d7Q@mail.gmail.com/ First of all, directly parsing FDT in device drivers is not a normal usage of DT in linux. It is out of the current DT usage model. So it should be agreed by DT maintainers. Current FPGA framework modifies kernel's live tree by DT overlay, when FPGA is dynamically reprogrammed and new HW devices appear. See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/fpga/fpga-region.txt. Then something less important: 1. The bindings should be documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/. 2. Are all the example DT usage conform to the exsiting bindings? I didn't go through all device classes, but remember like the interrupt-controller should have a "interrupt-controller" property, and the PCI properties are also different from PCI bindings.
