As I said in a previous email; I understand the need for certain scenarios, but in the general case it is not the mode that I think should be encouraged. I don't want to merge additional targets for .dtb embedded in the kernel image unless absolutely necessary, and I want developers to have the mindset that .dtbs should be separate from the kernel; and should be quasi-stable (or at least more stable than the kernel itself) because I think that multiplatform is important, and is going to become more important in the future.
So I don't want to support it by default; but OTOH, I'm not going to actively prevent embedded .dtb blobs either.
But by blocking the addition of such a make target you do actively prevent this, don;t you?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
