What you are facing is a situation that 1) appears to be pretty common, and 2) has (AFAICT) not been truely satisfactory solved yet. > So my question is: is it possible to do that kind of assembly of a > number of files at runtime in U-Boot?

I think it should be possible to overlay several DT images; ideally these would be strictly orthogonal, i. e. the newly loaded one would only add new properties, but I think it should be also no problem to define some latest-wins policy, i. e. in case of already existing properties the newly loaded ones would just overwrite the previous settings. I definitely can see the benefit of such a feature and would be happy if you could go forward and implement it. Thanks in advance.
