  3. SoC Platforms with DTS Compliance Requirements
  4. ==============================================
  5. Overview
  6. --------
  7. SoC platforms or subarchitectures should follow all the rules from
  8. Documentation/process/maintainer-soc.rst. This document referenced in
  9. MAINTAINERS impose additional requirements listed below.
  10. Strict DTS DT Schema and dtc Compliance
  11. ---------------------------------------
  12. No changes to the SoC platform Devicetree sources (DTS files) should introduce
  13. new ``make dtbs_check W=1`` warnings. Warnings in a new board DTS, which are
  14. results of issues in an included DTSI file, are considered existing, not new
  15. warnings. For series split between different trees (DT bindings go via driver
  16. subsystem tree), warnings on linux-next are decisive. The platform maintainers
  17. have automation in place which should point out any new warnings.
  18. If a commit introducing new warnings gets accepted somehow, the resulting
  19. issues shall be fixed in reasonable time (e.g. within one release) or the
  20. commit reverted.
