Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] efi: payload: export resolved state as a BareboxState UEFI variable
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 01:52:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824235250.94681-4-chalianis1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260824235250.94681-1-chalianis1@gmail.com>
From: Chali Anis <chalianis1@gmail.com>
When a "barebox,state" node is already reachable via barebox's live
devicetree (statically compiled in, or injected by
CONFIG_STATE_OVERLAY), render its fully resolved description - backend
phandle included - with of_state_fixup() and publish it as a
"BareboxState" UEFI variable, so an OS-side consumer can locate the
state layout without needing a separate state.dtb file on the ESP.
Since a state node reachable this way makes the standalone
/boot/EFI/barebox/state.dtb loading path redundant, skip it whenever
a "state" alias is already present in the live devicetree.
