• Flash-kernel: renamed device-trees

    From Heinrich Schuchardt@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 17 00:40:01 2022
    Hello Vagrant,

    In Linux 5.19 the device-tree file for the Polarfire Icicle board has
    been renamed

    from microchip/microchip-mpfs-icicle-kit.dts

    to microchip/mpfs-icicle-kit.dts

    Together with a package like linux-firmware that tries to update all
    initrds this creates havoc when upgrading (linux-firmware).

    Furthermore when using the device-tree name from U-Boot we have a second
    type of possible failure.

    Current U-Boot has
    CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE="microchip-mpfs-icicle-kit".

    Do we have a means to handle such name-changes gracefully?

    As the board has neither been supported by Debian Bullseye nor by Ubuntu
    Jammy I guess the best solution is to patch U-Boot and flash-kernel both
    to use the new name.

    Best regards

    Heinrich
