Hi,
I was able to confirm that the current libBSD implementation scans the fdt
only once.
caller:
https://github.com/RTEMS/rtems-libbsd/blob/f60ac53420f36060c13104f9a555f39ebc619b09/freebsd/sys/kern/subr_bus.c#L5100
callee:
https://github.com/RTEMS/rtems-libbsd/blob/f60ac53420f36060c13104f9a555f39ebc619b09/freebsd/sys/kern/subr_bus.c#L969
The function BUS_NEW_PASS initialises a pass over fdt with all drivers of
the current pass level.
However after trying to add another pass, I realized that all drivers are
on the DEFAULT_PASS_LEVEL (max_integer).
Best and thanks,
Nils
