ACPI-based systems generally provide DMI data allowing userspace software to identify the form-factor of the running system. Such information can be useful (for example, in order to implement different behavior on a desktop and on a smartphone) but is not readily available on DT-based systems. This patch proposes adding a new optional property to the root node, allowing a way to specify the system form factor. The new property is named `chassis-type`, using the same values as systemd's hostnamed. Signed-off-by: Arnaud Ferraris <arnaud.ferraris@collabora.com>

'embedded' seems rather pointless, but okay. Please also add this to the corresponding schema in https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/master/schemas/root-node.yaml |

I can see it being used for random dev boards, but I included it mostly to stay in line with systemd.
Sure thing, here it is: devicetree-org/dt-schema#58 |
