In preparation for adding Raspberry Pi 4 support, the Pi 3 platform
is restructured by factorizing all the drivers and libraries that are
going to be commonly used by the two platforms.

Because much of the Pi 4 SoC is an extension of the Pi 3 one this
means that almost everything, except the ACPI tables, is moved up
into a new common RaspberryPi/ subdirectory that will serve both
platforms. The .dec is also moved to this directory, under a new
RaspberryPi.dec name, and existing references to it are updated.

This change seems not related to the rest of your refactor.

It is. See https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/49288

The problem is we have no choice but to break the patch in two sections,
one that applies to edk2-platforms and the other to edk2-non-osi, since
these are separate repos, and the LogoDxe changes belong to non-osi.

We need to have part of the non-osi patch that is applied to
edk2-platforms, and it would make little sense to break it down into the
non-osi related and platforms related, since it still relies on the
non-osi changes having been applied.

I see.


If anything, I guess we could consider that the non-osi patch should
come first. Still, whatever we do here, as long as only one of non-osi
and platform is applied, builds are going to be broken, and there is no
way to fix that unless you do consider the set of platforms + non-osi as
a single patch.

Agreed, this is a egg/chicken problem.


I dealt with this in the past by just making sure the non-osi and
platform changes are applied at the same time. So it is good to make
note of this in the cover letter,

That is good advice. I'll make sure to follow that next time I have a non-osi + platforms dual patchset to submit, as it should indeed ease the review process.

but other than that, there is no way
we can apply interdependent changes to two separate repositories at
the same time without either breaking bisect for one of them, or
making a huge effort to add temporary code, defines etc that will be
removed again right after the changes have landed.
