[U-Boot-Users] RE: FT u-boot shim

Would it be possible to have the kernel smart enough that if it gets passed a bd_t pointer, it updates the dts before booting fully. Newer u-boot versions that support dts then would pass a NULL bd_t pointer to a kernel that supports dts. Kernel would then not update the dts, but use the one it gets handed.

bootm should be able to see if the kernel has an attached dts, update it with runtime parameters, and hand it off to the kernel. If it is an old kernel, hand it the bd_t pointer.
