Hi Andrew,
We are adding the nodes directly to the device tree to match what is done in other device trees, for example: k3-am642-tqma64xxl.dtsi. You are correct that this could be done by the bootloader instead though. Why do you prefer having the bootloader add the nodes?
k3-am642-tqma64xxl.dtsi should be fixed, it slipped past me and
shouldn't be used as a reference.
The bootloader might not fill it out at all, what if we start
using the new MTD GPT partitions? Then the new bootloaders
will have to start *removing* these stale half-nodes.
If the bootloader is going to add fixed partitions it should do
the whole job. There is no good reason to have a half complete
nodes here.

Nathan

Why can't your bootloader add these nodes?
