Can you compile the different device drivers statically and probe them
based on a devicetree file?

Yes I do compile the device drivers as modules, but yet I have to register the *_board_info structs on board-*.c file, here is an example:

Thanks in advance,

I have a SoM which will be used on several boards, this SoM has a base
kernel for it, with its board-*.c file. In each board I may have different
peripherals, so I have to patch the same board-*.c file depending on my
target board, and that patches may be conflicting one each other. For
example, I could have a RF on first SPI bus on one board, and on another
board a SD card on same first SPI bus.

So basically I will have a different kernel(uImage) and rootfs (with kernel
modules) for each board.

I think to create a layer for each target board, with the linux-SoM.bbappend
including the patches for that board..., so I enable the layer depending on
target board I'm creating, but is too much file editions, or have a build
directory for each target board, enabling the right layer on each
local.conf, but this means mantaining build directories, or at last
local.conf, which doesn't seem a good idea for me...

Would be possible to do this relying only new layers and its configurations?

Thanks in advance
Cheers!
