Patch 0001 re-enables FDT inclusion into the u-boot binary to make them boot again. The code might not have adjusted well enough in the past to handle the separate one.
what exactly is the issue? Do you see it just on real hardware?
Booting all Malta variants in Qemu is contained in official U-Boot CI and showed no boot failures until now. Unfortuneately I don't have Malta hardware myself for testing.
If I remove it, the machine just spins in Qemu, no output, nothing. If I add it, it works fine again. I found out by bisecting. I have no idea why the tests aren't picking this up. Could it be a qemu/gcc/binutils combination issue? A symbol not set as expected?
qemu 5.1.0 gcc 8.3.0 binutils 2.32
Also CONFIG_OF_EMBED is just a debug option and should be avoided for production builds. So if there is a real problem, I would prefer to rather fix that instead of enabling CONFIG_OF_EMBED.
Thats what I already stated; Its a provisionary fix until the real issue is tacked. Its now at least known.
With regards, Reinoud
