Configuration which is shared between the BeagleBone Black and derivative boards like the Sancloud BeagleBone Enhanced (BBE) is moved to a common dtsi file to prevent duplication.
Are these being sent upstream to the linux kernel?
The upstream kernel already has am335x-boneblack-common.dtsi and am335x-sancloud-bbe.dts files, since 2016 and 2018 respectively. As these files fell out of sync over 4 years ago I've assumed there is no need to keep them in sync. We could try to resync things but that would lead to an unnecessary risk of breakage, I don't have every BeagleBone Black derivative board on hand to fully test such a resync.
Adding in Lokesh. It would be really good to get as many of these files back in sync again as possible and then keep them in sync periodically. As I don't think there's been any breaking fixes in the dts files again, there shouldn't be any problems.
Hi Tom,
As there's been no reply from Lokesh I'd like to move forward with these updates if we can. I'm happy to resync the SanCloud dts files plus what we include, I think that will also involve copying over at least one more dt-bindings header as well.
I'll send an updated series shortly.
Thanks,
