This boat has already sailed, I think, but "ftrs"? Was it too difficult to type "features"? This seems like something that should be easy and intuitive to find and understand. :-) PC

Ideally no one will ever use it, certainly not end users, it's primarily intended for developers doing bring-up. cheers

(Hmm, what are "CPU footers"?) :-P PC

"FTR" - the shouty version - has meant "feature" in the powerpc code base since at least 2002. So it may be a crappy abbreviation but it's at least consistent :) cheers

Why not? Especially considering the generic code has already parsed the string to find the = delimiter, and is just passing us the tail. cheers

Provide a dt_cpu_ftrs= cmdline option to disable the dt_cpu_ftrs CPU feature discovery, and fall back to the "cputable" based version. Also allow control of advertising unknown features to userspace and with this parameter, and remove the clunky CONFIG option.
