31.Sh NAME
32.Nm OF_node_from_xref ,
33.Nm OF_xref_from_node
34.Nd convert between kernel phandle and effective phandle
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In dev/ofw/ofw_bus.h
37.In dev/ofw/ofw_bus_subr.h
38.Ft phandle_t
39.Fn OF_node_from_xref "phandle_t xref"
40.Ft phandle_t
41.Fn OF_xref_from_node "phandle_t node"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43Some OpenFirmware implementations (FDT, IBM) have a concept
44of effective phandle or xrefs.
45They are used to cross-reference device tree nodes.
46For instance, a framebuffer controller may refer to a GPIO
47controller and pin that controls the backlight.
48In this example, the GPIO node would have a cell (32-bit integer)
49property with a reserved name like "phandle" or "linux,phandle"
50whose value uniquely identifies the node.
51The actual name depends on the implementation.
52The framebuffer node would have a property with the name
53described by device bindings (device-specific set of properties).
54It can be a cell property or a combined property with one part
55of it being a cell.
56The value of the framebuffer node's property would be the same
57as the value of the GPIO "phandle" property so it can be said
58that the framebuffer node refers to the GPIO node.
59The kernel uses internal logic to assign unique identifiers
60to the device tree nodes, and these values do not match
61the values of "phandle" properties.
62.Fn OF_node_from_xref
63and
64.Fn OF_xref_from_node
65are used to perform conversion between these two kinds of node
66identifiers.
67.Pp
68.Fn OF_node_from_xref
69returns the kernel phandle for the effective phandle
70.Fa xref .
71If one cannot be found or the OpenFirmware implementation
72does not support effective phandles, the function returns
73the input value.
74.Pp
75.Fn OF_xref_from_xref
76returns the effective phandle for the kernel phandle
77.Fa xref .
78If one cannot be found or the OpenFirmware implementation
79does not support effective phandles, the function returns
80the input value.
81.Sh EXAMPLES

87        return;

89    panelnode = OF_node_from_xref(panelxref);
90    if (OF_getprop_alloc(hdminode, "model", (void **)&model) <= 0)
