( kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git: be5165a51d2500ae1afa1236a8b09858831fdf7e ) I am still not sure which parts got merged and which are still pending. There are still overlay patches floating around. > > Would it be possible to take another look at pulling these patches into the barebox mainline? Generally yes. If you like, please rebase test and respin the patches. We gave up at that time because we didn't see any good usecase for overlay support which we can't solve with the instruments we already have. So I would be glad to hear about your motivation using overlays.
