+/**
+ * ofnode - reference to a device tree node
+ *
+ * This union can hold either a straightforward pointer to a struct device_node
+ * in the live device tree, or an offset within the flat device tree. In the
+ * latter case, the pointer value is just the integer offset within the flat DT.
+ *
+ * Thus we can reference nodes in both the live tree (once available) and the
+ * flat tree (until then). Functions are available to translate between an
+ * ofnode and either an offset or a struct device_node *.
+ *
+ * The reference can also hold a null offset, in which case the pointer value
+ * here is (void *)-1. This corresponds to a struct device_node * value of
+ * NULL, or an offset of -1.
+ *
+ * There is no ambiguity as to whether ofnode holds an offset or a node
+ * pointer: when the live tree is active it holds a node pointer, otherwise it
+ * holds an offset. The value itself does not need to be unique and in theory
+ * the same value could point to a valid device node or a valid offset. We
+ * could arrange for a unique value to be used (e.g. by making the pointer
+ * point to an offset within the flat device tree in the case of an offset) but
+ * this increases code size slightly due to the subtraction. Since it offers no
+ * real benefit, the approach described here seems best.
+ *
+ * For now these points use constant types, since we don't allow writing
+ * the DT.
+ *
+ * @np: Pointer to device node, used for live tree
+ * @flat_ptr: Pointer into flat device tree, used for flat tree. Note that this
+ *	is not a really a pointer to a node: it is an offset value. See above.
