Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] ARM: boards: phytec-som-imx6: re-apply BSP environment after board defaultenv
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2026 07:59:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007055953.1001705-3-florijan.plohl@norik.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261007055953.1001705-1-florijan.plohl@norik.com>

From: Primoz Fiser <primoz.fiser@norik.com>

physom_imx6_probe() appends the board's own defaultenv-physom-imx6*
directories via defaultenv_append_directory(). Since commit 7f1cc5dd869d
("defaultenv: add base and external defaultenv in pure_initcall") moved
the Kconfig/BSP-supplied environment (CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_PATH)
to an early pure_initcall, this probe - which runs later - now wins any
path collision against it.

For this board that silently shadows the per-machine environment a
Yocto BSP supplies via DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_PATH (e.g. meta-phytec's
env_add()-generated boot scripts) with the board's own, much older,
generic defaultenv-physom-imx6* content, without any build failure or
warning to indicate it.

Call the new defaultenv_append_external() after the board-specific
appends so the BSP-supplied environment, when actually provided, takes
final precedence again - restoring the pre-7f1cc5dd869d behavior for
this board. Standalone (non-Yocto) builds without a
DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_PATH are unaffected, and the board's own
defaultenv-physom-imx6* directories remain as the fallback for that
case.

Fixes: 7f1cc5dd869d ("defaultenv: add base and external defaultenv in pure_initcall")
