[Verse 1] Hardware sleeps beneath the silicon skin Until the kernel whispers "wake up, begin" Device tree maps the circuits like a blueprint drawn Each binding tells the story of what's plugged in at dawn Platform bus conductor calls each passenger by name Memory addresses, interrupts - no two devices quite the same [Chorus] Probe and bind, discover what's inside Device tree nodes guide the platform ride Match the strings, compatible and clean Register resources in the driver scene Probe and bind, hardware comes alive Platform framework makes the system thrive [Verse 2] Compatible strings are handshakes in the dark "Vendor comma model" signatures that spark Recognition circuits firing in the driver core When strings align, the probe function opens every door Properties scatter through the tree like breadcrumb trails Voltage levels, clock frequencies - the hardware never fails [Chorus] Probe and bind, discover what's inside Device tree nodes guide the platform ride Match the strings, compatible and clean Register resources in the driver scene Probe and bind, hardware comes alive Platform framework makes the system thrive [Bridge] Remove function cleans the stage when curtains fall Unmap the memory, free the IRQ call Graceful shutdown, no resources left behind Platform device lifecycle perfectly designed [Verse 3] From bootloader's gift, the device tree unfolds Flattened binary secrets that the kernel beholds Platform driver tables wait with patient eyes Scanning every node until the match satisfies Power domains waking, clocks begin to tick Hardware abstraction makes the magic quick [Chorus] Probe and bind, discover what's inside Device tree nodes guide the platform ride Match the strings, compatible and clean Register resources in the driver scene Probe and bind, hardware comes alive Platform framework makes the system thrive [Outro] Silicon symphony conducted by the tree Platform drivers dancing in perfect harmony Probe and bind, the eternal refrain Hardware discovery flows through every vein
