X-Git-Tag: v2025.07-rc1~18^2~13^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e624377e99314bdfac6cb5a3d216dff49a047e9;p=pandora-u-boot.git

efi_loader: install device-tree on configuration table on every invocation

The efi_install_fdt() function is called before booting an EFI binary,
either directly, or through a bootmanager. This function installs a
copy of the device-tree(DT) on the EFI configuration table, which is
passed on to the OS.

The current logic in this function does not install a DT if a
device-tree is already installed as an EFI configuration
table. However, this existing copy of the DT might not be up-to-date,
or it could be a wrong DT for the image that is being booted. Always
install a DT afresh to the configuration table before booting the EFI
binary.

Installing a new DT also involves some additional checks that are
needed to clean up memory associated with the existing DT copy. Check
for an existing copy, and free up that memory.
