This patch series change Espressobin code to use in U-Boot just one DTS file for all Espressobin variants. Therefore DT compatible string globalscale,espressobin-emmc is not used anymore as it is not needed.
It means that setup and compilation of U-Boot for Espressobin is less complicated and more simple. As there is no need to check for HW details and just one U-Boot binary would work for all Espressobin variants.
First two patches just revert previous eMMC support and next two patches add support for eMMC in way that just one DTS file is used and fdtfile env variable is correctly set for any Espressobin variant.
We have tested that fdtfile env variable is correctly set on Espressobin variants with eMMC, without eMMC, with DDR3 RAM and also with DDR4 RAM. Also that eMMC is working on Espressobin variant with eMMC.
Stefan, could you please review this patch series?
I like the approach in general to simplify things. One comment though:
AFAICT, Linux uses multiple dts/dtsi files for espressobin. So your approach to move to one single file contradicts the (planned after comphy conversion) move to the Linux dts/dtsi files.
After comphy conversion we can use e.g. Linux dtsi file and create one main U-Boot dts file which would contain all nodes enabled and in U-Boot code disable nodes which are not present/relevant. This patch series allows to detect all variants v5, v7, with emmc, without emmc; so we can reconstruct dts file at U-Boot runtime. In Linux we also simplified dts files as much as possible, so all options are in common dtsi file and only variant relevant changes (enable/disable nodes) are in dts files.
Andre, are you fine with these changes? I would like to get your acknowledgment or review comment what needs to be changed or improved as this patch series basically rework your code (which is first reverted and them implemented in different way).
Yes. Andre please also comment on this.
Thanks, Stefan
