There's nothing particularly sophisticated into saving the FDT that
can't be done with the machine at any state, as long as the machine has
a valid FDT to be saved.

The 'dumpdtb' command receives a 'filename' paramenter and, if a valid

Typo "parameter".

FDT is available, it'll save it in a file 'filename'. In short, this is
a '-machine dumpdtb' that can be fired on demand via QMP/HMP.

A valid FDT consists of a FDT that was created using libfdt being
retrieved via 'current_machine->fdt' in device_tree.c.

This sentence is odd.

Seconded.

I removed it and changed the previous paragraph as follows:

The 'dumpdtb' command receives a 'filename' parameter and, if the FDT is 
available
via current_machine->fdt, save it in dtb format to 'filename'. In short, this 
is a
'-machine dumpdtb' that can be fired on demand via QMP/HMP.



This condition is
met by most FDT users in QEMU.

This command will always be executed in-band (i.e. holding BQL),
avoiding potential race conditions with machines that might change the
FDT during runtime (e.g. PowerPC 'pseries' machine).

Here, you document the format as "to be decoded using dtc".  In the QAPI
schema below, you document it as "dtb format" and "FDT file".  Pick one
and stick to it, please.

"the 'filename' file" feels a bit awkward.  Suggest something "dump the
FDT in dtb format to 'filename'", similar to your phrasing in the QAPI
schema.

fdt_totalsize() returns an uint32_t. Maybe use "unsigned" if you
don't want to use uint32_t?

Best to avoid unnecessary conversions between signed and unsigned.

The value is passed to g_file_set_contents() below, which takes a
gssize.  uint32_t should be narrower than gssize on anything capable of
running QEMU.  So let's use that.


Changed size to uint32_t.

+        return;
+    }
+
+    size = fdt_totalsize(current_machine->fdt);

        assert(size > 0); ?

Given that this is classified as a debug command I believe it's ok to g_assert()
if size == 0 here. Changed.

+        error_setg(errp, "Error saving FDT to file %s: %s",

+    }

Eventually:

        info_report("Dumped %u bytes of FDT to %s\n", size, filename);

To have a feedback in HMP.

If feedback is desired, it needs to be done in hmp_dumpdtb().
info_report() here would make the QMP command spam stderr.

Added the following in hmp_dumpdtb():

    if (hmp_handle_error(mon, local_err)) {
        return;
    }

    info_report("dtb dumped to %s",filename);

Thank you both for the review. I've added both R-bs after the changes mentioned.
