To be honest, I don't know enough to say either way.  I am using the
character
literals in a device tree that is used to configure a single firmware image
for
multiple boards.  That device tree is not currently passed on to the kernel.

Your question makes me think that there are two device tree compilers that I
should be paying attention to, is that the case?  Or was it a more general
comment about diverging from a historic syntax for device tree source files?

Thanks,
