[PATCH v2 0/4] firmware: raspberrypi: Add support for the tryboot mode
From: Gregor Herburger
Date: Tue Jun 30 2026 - 17:01:38 EST
This adds support for the tryboot mode on Raspberry Pis. As there is no
documentation other than the downstream implementation [0] the
implementation is based on this.
I tested this on Raspberry Pi 5 and therefore I only added the
properties to this devicetree. But afaik this should work on all
Raspberry Pis. I will add it to the correspondings dts if I get some
hardware to test it.
