Using the information should be fine, but my understanding of the UEFI forum rules is that any submissions to UEFI specs must be from UEFI forum members - there are concerns around accidentally including patented material.
The documents in question are not regarded as UEFI specs, however. They are just hosted by UEFI.
The easy way around this is just for the bindings to be managed outside UEFI.
Again, there's a difference between UEFI material and the UEFI hosting something (but not maintaining it).
In principle, the bindings could be hosted by UEFI, but maintained by community members.
Thanks for the clarify, I totally agree with you, that's how things work now for such doc hosted by UEFI.
For now, _DSD will use the same binding as DT, is there any chance that _DSD will introduce new bindings? if yes, how can we handle it?
Thanks Hanjun
