    Judging by some of the questions I see popping up over and over again,
    I suspect that many people resisting OF device trees lack much of an
    understanding of what they provide and can do.

    Questions like "How do we determine attribute X of a given device" has
    an obvious answer if you understand device node properties and that
    you can encode arbitrary things into them to provide arbitrary bits of
    information on a per-device-instance basis.
