Doesn't the very latest dtc, which contains integer expression support,
allow unary -? I thought that code had been imported into the kernel
(goes and checks) yes it has. What's the error you're seeing;
over/underflow or syntax?
That said, DT cells are supposed to be u32 not s32, so perhaps this
isn't unexpected.
