IMHO, the OF_UPSTREAM migration can wait until all the required DT sources (.dts and .dtso) are present upstream. If we start to mix and match DT sources then it is going to turn into maintainers' hardship again. However, I am still open to further convincing arguments for this.
With some Linux kernel architectures, it takes months to get a singular patch review out of the maintainers.
Okay I see the pain but we already have that rule for .dts files for OF_UPSTREAM switch but having a different rule for .dtso files is going to make maintainability complex.
What kind of rule is that ?
If the rule for .dts files is either dts/upstream or arch/*/dts, then the rule for .dtso is either dts/upstream+fallback to arch/*/dts or only arch/*/dts .
Yeah that the rule difference we will have after this patch for .dtso but I can live with that given it being gated behind the Kconfig option below.
Should be fixed in V2.
