Subject: [PATCH 4/5] environment: add support for a single node barebox,environment binding
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2024 16:33:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241126153312.3758355-5-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241126153312.3758355-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
While we have had our binding for a long time, it was never submitted
for upstream inclusion in the Linux DT bindings and it's unlikely to be
accepted as there are no other bindings that reference a fixed partition
in a property.
Linux has support for a u-boot,env binding, which is used by giving the
partition a compatible = "u-boot,env" property.
Let's support the same thing for barebox and allow barebox,environment
to be a subnode of a fixed-partitions node. We intentionally don't add
file-path support for now as the intention is to flesh out this binding
together with upstream.

+title: barebox environment variables
+
+description: |
+ barebox uses its environment to store non-volatile variables, scripts
+ and arbitrary binary blobs.
+ By default, the built-in environment compiled into barebox is used, but
+ for development purposes, it's possible to override it at runtime.
+
+ Variables can not yet be defined as NVMEM device subnodes.
