[bbb-overlays] Fixing overlay configfs for v4.14

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	Hi Pantelis,

Using overlay configfs on v4.14 requires two fixes, both due to commit
d1651b03c2df75db ("of: overlay: add overlay symbols to live device
tree"):

 1. As the symbols were added to the ovinfo[] array without calling
    of_fill_overlay_info(), the new of_overlay_info.info field (added by
    your bbb-overlays patches) is not set up, causing a NULL pointer
    dereference.

    As calling of_fill_overlay_info() is not appropriate here, the patch
    below fixes this by filling it in manually.  Feel free to fold into
    "of: overlay: add per overlay sysfs attributes".

 2. "of: overlay: Pick up label symbols from overlays." must be
    reverted, else loading overlays fails with:

	OF: changeset: add_property failed @/__symbols__/...
	OF: Error applying changeset (-17)

I've updated my topic/overlays and topic/renesas-overlays branches in
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/geert/renesas-drivers.git
accordingly.
