SubjectRe: [PATCH] firmware: stratix10-svc: Drop unnecessary checking for and populating /firmware/ node
From
Date
Hi Sudeep,

In our dts, firmware is not under root node. You can refer to
arch/arm64/boot/dts/altera/socfpga_stratix10.dtsi for details.

This is why we need check and populate firmware node.

Regards,
Richard
