Oops, that should be:

full-dtbs := base.dtb overlay.dtb
dtb-y += full.dtb

Just like multiple objs in a module.

Can you not tell at runtime which one you booted from? If not, how
does one choose which overlay to apply? If you can, why not populate
both nodes and enable the right one? IMO, if all h/w is present, it
should all be in the DT. Selecting what h/w to use is a separate
problem and overlays aren't a great solution for that.

These need rules to apply them to the base dtb(s). You just need:

full.dtb := base.dtb overlay.dtb
dtb-y += full.dtb

It is not the decision about bootdevice,more available devices.

Only 1 spi device (nand OR nor) is available
at boottime as they share same spi bus and
chipselect is set via hw jumper.
Both nodes have reg 0,which is imho not
supported in linux.

I choosed overlays to add the right spi
device on the right mmc device where
similar selection happens (see patch 10).
Either sd OR emmc can be used (1 mmc
controller,first 4bits from bus switched by
hardware jumper).But for mmc i use it as
base fdt because i see mmc as primary
device which holds rootfs too. Nand/nor is
imho helping device for accessing emmc or
like rescue system (only uboot).

I probe in uboot if emmc is available (mmc
partconf) and choose emmc else sd. For
spi i try with sf command to check for nor,if
this does not work i apply nand overlay.

Daniel suggest define sd/emmc as overlay too...with way you mention below we could create 4 full fdt without applying overlays in uboot.

I would prefer to do this in bootloader to allow all 4 possible configurations:

Sd+nand
Sd+nor
Emmc+nand
Emmc+nor

As long as one is set to disabled, it should be fine.

No way to read the jumper state or know what you booted from I gues?

Instead of applying overlays, wouldn't just changing 'status' be easier?

Yes. .dts -> .dtbo is going to be removed.

Yes, but if you are going to do that, then you can just do all this
with includes.

That's fine. The purpose here is to document what the overlays apply
to, check that they actually apply, and validate them when applied
(unless someone wants to figure out all the issues with validating
just an overlay and make that work). You for example have an
undocumented compatible in yours (denx,fit).

It will be easier,but requires dts for all
combinations,we have have sd/emmc
combination twice (once for nand
enabling,once for nor) and we have then 4
full dts instead of smaller overlays in fit.

So i should add spi subnodes both disabled
in base dtsi and create 4 dts (sd-nand,sd-nor,emmc-nand,emmc-nor) with
mmc node and enabling the right spi node?

Do this if still using overlays,will test new way.

Maybe we can apply parts 1-9 first?

This is a third way if i understand correctly

Make all of them as overlay (dtso?) but
build dtb by combining them in makefile.

This looks the best way because it avoids
redundand code for mmc node and allows
my current spi config (not the status way
which may break due to same unit address).

I guess my base dtsi is then a dts too?

Or should these overlays only duplicated and either include sd dts or emmc dts (but this creates again redundant code)?

Oh,need to check,copied partitions from my
uboot dts...maybe there is a linux version
for marking it as fit partition,else i drop
completely.

So i i stay with current way i have to rename
overlays to dtso and add info about base
dtb (bpi-r3-sd/emmc) to commit message
or into the overlay itself?

No, I mean can't you have 1 dtb with everything, but nand, nor, emmc,
and sd are all disabled. Then at boot change 'status' for what's
enabled.

Yes, it can be.

You just need to document it. But the first thing I'm going to say, is
'u-boot' is the vendor, not 'denx'. So 'u-boot,fit'.

at least for sd/emmc: no, as they share same mmc-node with different settings (bus-width,speed,...).

for nand/nor i'm not sure if spi can have 2 childs with same unit-address/reg even if disabled.
Then i do not know how to enable a dts-node in uboot...only know (not long time) how to apply overlay ;)

i would wait for them applied before posting next version, i hope they can go into 6.2. Then it is easier because depencies are all in.

overlay was only for discussion the right way...my preferred way was mmc in board dts and spi as overlay,
daniel preferred base fdt without them all and 4 overlays. another way already discussed were 4 full fdt, but
how to get all 4 combinations with less files and not defining mmc/spi device twice? i see only the overlay
version and combining via Makefile.

what is your preferred way (except all devices in 1 dts which is afair not possible, daniel please correct me if
i'm wrong)?

imho it is not needed in linux, so i drop it.
