For filtering of Bootloader Spec entries, Bootloader Spec
specify an optional key machine-id. By set the
global.boot.machine-id variable the checking of machine-id
key in Bootloader Spec entries will be activate. If the
variable and key match, appropriate boot entry will be
booting. If it not match boot entry will be ignore and
barebox check the next boot entry.

Changes since v1:
- change pr_info to pr_debug in case of missmatching this machine-id
- print both machine-ids in debug message
Hi Sascha,
yes you are right. The message has to be improve for better understanding.
I oriented me on device-tree compatibility and used the equal message.
While improving I realised, that my decision to use pr_info was not very well.
Because, in case of device-tree compatibility the usual case is matching.
But in case of Bootloader Spec entries with machine-id only one of X entries
will/shuld match usaully. Bootloader would print some unnecessary info messages
each boot.
I changed the output to pr_debug, to avoid unnecessary outputs while normal
booting. And I add both machine ids to the message to make debuging easier.
Regards,
Andreas

compatible NFS URI string must be passed to the boot command:
