With the merge of the new u-boot.itb size check now the build for pine64_plus_defconfig breaks, as this file gets too large: ============= u-boot.itb exceeds file size limit: limit: 516096 bytes actual: 521852 bytes excess: 5756 bytes make: *** [u-boot.itb] Error 1 ============= One easily fixable reason is that we actually have two .dtbs in our FIT image, one for the regular Pine64+ board, and one for the non-plus version. The only difference U-Boot cares about is the 100Mbit Ethernet PHY used on the non-plus version, however Ethernet isn't enabled in the non-plus DT anyway. So we could avoid the non-plus special handling, and remove that extra .dtb from the FIT image, which saves a few KBs and brings us back below the limit. The Pine64 would boot with a Pine64+ .dtb, and would fail to enable Ethernet. Given that it didn't work in the first place, this is not a regression. Once we switch to a non-MMC environment, we can bring this back, then with a proper .dtb and hopefully working Ethernet.

That works for me, but we have other ways ot address this as well, see the other thread :)
