That would be a solution. But... > Or I could switch between '*-regular.conf' and '*-update.conf'. And then > provide two entries for each device-tree. .. if I wanna cover all platforms I have at least 2 platform confs for each platform. The reason for that is because different platforms using different overlays. By platform I mean a different variant of the same platform family. Therefore I use my abbroach to patch the needed overlays live and the platform is always the same.
