Before device-tree, the device serial number used to be passed to the kernel using ATAGs (on ARM). This is now deprecated and all the handover to the kernel should now be done using device-tree. Thus, this passes the serial-number property to the kernel using the serial-number property of the root node, as expected by the kernel. The serial number is a string that somewhat represents the device's serial number. It might come from some form of storage (e.g. an eeprom) and be programmed at factory-time by the manufacturer or come from identification bits available in e.g. the SoC.

Device Tree Bindings Staging Area ================================= This directory contains device tree bindings for U-Boot. These follow along with Linux kernel bindings, with a few additions. By adding the files here, U-Boot patches can clearly show thees additions. This makes it easier for device tree people to review these additions in patches sent to the U-Boot mailing list. The intent IS to commit these files to U-Boot. Hopefully at some point the files will be stored in another repo (shared with Linux) which is brought in as needed. Changes here are intended to mirror changes in the Linux Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ directory. sjg@chromium.org 17-Jan-12
