Note that in our case we actually ignore the built-in boot arguments without a /chosen node, which isn't clear to me from the message. I'm not sure if it's sane to warn everyone of this, but it was decided that RISC-V should have this behavior because it's all standard code. In other words, it might be worth adding some sort of #ifdef CONFIG_CMDLINE pr_warn("Due to the lack of a /chosen node, we're also ignoring your builtin kernel command-line\n"); #endif though that wording is, of course, a bit poor :). Either way, Reviewed-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@sifive.com> as this is better than nothing! Now I can just point users to the error and tell them that, obviously, they should know what it means -- I just hope I can remember :) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
