The motivation is rather to avoid any U-Boot specific DT files. Shouldn't you be able to create a DT overlay of v2.1 board over v1.1 and push that upstream? The runtime DT choice sounds pretty similar to how you can choose to apply the DT overlay or not with common boot DT. Also, bundling multiple DT within U-Boot proper FIT image can be an alternative too. -Sumit > > Please see following for more details: > https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/commit/a52099b4a2ae9e8cafc79268325249bcad308012 > https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/arch/arm/dts/rk3566-orangepi-3b.dts > https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/arch/arm/dts/rk3566-orangepi-3b-v1.1.dts > https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/arch/arm/dts/rk3566-orangepi-3b-v2.1.dts > > Regards, > Jonas > > > > > -Sumit > > > >> > >> Jan > >> > >> -- > >> Siemens AG, Technology > >> Linux Expert Center > >> >
