Subject: [PATCH master] of: fdt: refuse / in property and node names
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 17:03:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312160433.194560-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

/ is used as delimiter between nodes, so seeing it in a device node name
hints at something fishy going on, so refuse that outright.
