Hi Simon,
As I said here [1], this is moving on an entirely different direction I had
in mind. I'd much prefer starting the discussions for a solution that
allows us to scale.
FWIW I think the current code is still not clean for my taste. Commit
3b595da441cf ("fdtdec: allow board to provide fdt for CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE")
allowed this function to be used regardless of the config options. IMHO we
should have 2 clear options:
- U-Boot provides the DTB
- It's somehow passed over to U-Boot
