Dear Maintainer,
Currently u-boot-menu makes use of a single configuration file
one has to edit in order to change the default options. It could
be useful to use config fragments containing only one (or more)
variables, so that different packages could change different
config options (for example, one fragment could modify the
default cmdline, while another one could change the DTB folder).
The attached patch implements such a feature by sourcing any
*.conf file present under the /etc/u-boot-menu.d folder.
Please note this has been previously submitted as a merge request
on salsa[1], which I'm doubling with a BTS entry in case you
prefer handling such requests that way.

Thanks,
Arnaud

Subject: [PATCH] u-boot-update: allow using config fragments
In order to allow other packages and/or derivative distros to configure
specific aspects of `u-boot-menu` it can be useful to allow using config
fragments. This patch therefore implements loading config files from
`/etc/u-boot-menu.d`, overriding the values loaded from the default
configuration file.
