Parsing "firmware" partition (to create kernel + rootfs) was
implemented using OpenWrt downstream code enabled by
CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_FIRMWARE. With recent upstream mtd changes we can do
it in a more clean way for DTS targets. It just requires adding a
proper "compatible" string to the "firmware" partition node.
I'd like all DTS supported devices to use that "compatible" and
disable CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_FIRMWARE eventually.
1) Default uimage
If you see:
2 uimage-fw partitions found on MTD device firmware
please use "denx,uimage"; e.g.
partition@70000 {
label = "firmware";
reg = <0x070000 0x790000>;
compatible = "denx,uimage";
};
2) Netgear's uimage
If you see:
2 netgear-fw partitions found on MTD device firmware
please use "netgear,uimage"; e.g.
partition@70000 {
label = "firmware";
reg = <0x070000 0xf80000>;
compatible = "netgear,uimage";
};
3) TP-LINK's firmware
If you see:
2 tplink-fw partitions found on MTD device firmware
please use "tplink,firmware"; e.g.
firmware@20000 {
label = "firmware";
reg = <0x020000 0xfd0000>;
compatible = "tplink,firmware";
};
Please kindly:
1) Use that for all newly added devices
2) Port already supported devices you can test
