I would like to be able to create apple device trees in Rust. After finding out that there is a apfs crate here with no-std support I figured this would be the best place to implement this kind of thing.

Use case: I could create apple device trees from a Rust program. These device trees could be loaded into u-boot to then boot the XNU kernel on various platforms. Apple device trees seem to be slightly different from Linux device trees but I'm not sure what the specific changes are.

There seems to be a device tree for the Raspberry Pi floating around somewhere but it is hard to modify it and to create a new one at the moment. See NSG650's blog post on booting XNU on a Raspberry Pi for more information.

I also found these repositories that might be useful. I am willing to make a attempt at a PR for this.
