RE: [U-Boot-Users] Re: FT u-boot shim
-----Original Message----- From: Tolunay Orkun Why can't we have dts compiled into 'vmlinux' perhaps marked as __init (or something like it). If kernel is going to patch it anyway, why do we pass a static file from u-boot?
Have it in there with space reserved for the variables bootm need to fill in. That way bootm only needs to look in the dts, find the variables it needs to update, and patch them.

Note that some of these variables might be pretty dynamic, like the number of ethernet interfaces / MAC addresses etc.

And some of them might even be strings... Even worse...
