Nothing prevents you from including the orange pi pc dts, from the
orange pi plus dts.
It prevents the duplication you were trying to avoid, and it doesn't
create all those spurious errors and devices.
That would solve the copy paste problem on the kernel side, but that
would still mean adding a new u-boot defconfig for this, which means that
all the distro's which ship with prebuild u-boot binaries need to build
for yet another board, something which I would like to avoid.
Still, registering devices that are not present on the board is not an
option.
Ok, new version send.
What about the other 3 patches in this series ?
I guess the same comment applies for patch 2.
The difference is that there really is no harm at all from
enabling the extra usb controllers used on the plus 2e
on the plus and plus 2 as well, no errors, no nothing, they
just sit their as usb controllers without an usb device plugged
in. But if you insist I can do a separate dts + u-boot defconfig
for the plus 2e as well (but I would rather not).
Ping, what is the verdict on this, are you ok with the patch or
do you want me to create a separate dts file for the Orange Pi
Plus 2E, note that doing so is going to be highly confusing to
users, there are 3 plus boards:
Orange Pi Plus
Orange Pi Plus 2 (same as the original plus but with 2G RAM, uses same u-boot defconfig / dts file)
Orange Pi Plus 2E (drops the USB-hub instead using all 3 host controllers)
So if you insist on a separate dts for the 2E, we get a case where
the user with the "2" needs to guess which config to use, sure we
can document this, but who is going to read the docs ?
Ping can you please make a call on this, I'm ok with doing this
either way (*), but please lets just make a call and move forward.
Regards,
Hans
*) With a preference for a single dts file for all plus boards as explained
in my previous email

Hans
