What did I miss?
I missed it, actually. See Rob's comment:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAL_Jsq+GR3hP6hFvFn2z5aXvSXnh9butD3aKZ-y_XJgx0_YPTw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
Having orphan dtbo is apparently frowned upon
And if you apply these overlays to the base DTB then it gets
symbols added automatically, no need for your patch [1/2] here.
Is this OK?
k3-am642-evm-nand-dtbs := k3-am642-evm.dtb k3-am642-evm-nand.dtbo
dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_K3) += k3-am642-evm-nand.dtb
So patch 1 is not required in this case but we have an
extra dtb file which is not really required.
While I agree we will end up with several pre-overlayed DTB files
that are arguably not required as they could be later built/applied,
until we find a better way to check at build time these overlays
need applied to something as a test.
I have 2 more issues to point out
1)
With existing examples e.g. J7200 EVM
wouldn't k3-j7200-evm.dtb include the k3-j7200-evm-quad-port-eth-exp.dtbo?
Is this what we really want?
likewise for k3-j721e-evm.dtb and k3-am654-gp-evm.dtb
Yes, that is the idea, the base-board.dtb is just the raw main board, but
the "EVM" when you buy it comes with the quad-port daughtercard attached.
That is what we consider the "EVM" and the DTB names match that.
2)
Another issue (unrelated to this change) is the below warning:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/ti/k3-am642-evm-nand.dtso:65.8-140.3: Warning (avoid_default_addr_size): /fragment@3/__overlay__: Relying on default #address-cells value
arch/arm64/boot/dts/ti/k3-am642-evm-nand.dtso:65.8-140.3: Warning (avoid_default_addr_size): /fragment@3/__overlay__: Relying on default #size-cells value
This is because we use the 'ranges' property in the gpmc0 node
and the compiler doesn't know the #address/size-cells of the
parent node.
Is there a trick to specify it in the dtso file?
Hmm, seems like a tricky one. Do you really need to do the ranges here?
Could you use the default `ranges;` for gpmc0? Then do the range translation
down inside the nand node to keep the partition addresses sane.
GPMC has separate address spaces per chip select.
From Documentation/devicetree/bindings/memory-controllers/ti,gpmc.yaml
ranges:
minItems: 1
description: |
Must be set up to reflect the memory layout with four
integer values for each chip-select line in use,
<cs-number> 0 <physical address of mapping> <size>
The ranges location in the device tree overlay is correct. The overlay is
meaningless without the base tree.
The correct solution would be to fix dtc so it doesn't print this warning
for DT overlays.
This may be too much and we would miss valid cases for this warning.
Maybe that is okay here, but we would need to add a warning/check
when applying overlays for mismatch sizes, right now that seems to
be missing.
