Cc: Alexander Graf <ag...@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andreas Färber <afaer...@suse.de>Stephen had pretty strong opinions on the naming, mostly because "pxe boot" uses the same naming scheme. So we should either change it there as well to stay consistent or just make the implicit ruling always work :). I guess the best case would be to fix up the path names of boards so that $vendor is always $soc_vendor. Do you have an example where that wouldn't work?
All I'll say is that if the "auto calculation" algorithm of ${soc}-${board}.dtb doesn't work, U-Boot should set ${fdtfile} with the correct full name. Introducing other more complex "auto calculation" is just going to lead to more complexity and yet still not solve 100% of the cases, which will be confusing.
I'm unlikely to review any other aspects of the series, since I'm still quite disappointed that distros wouldn't engage in the discussions boot methods and agree on one solution, and that config_distro*.h is being abused as a dumping ground for tons of different boot methods; the whole point of it was to unify on *one* method that distros could rely upon, which is the opposite of where it's now going:-(
