May be I am missing something here, but for the mainline there is only one dtb available and so why is this needed for the mainline? I understand for the downstream kernels that the chromebooks ship with they may include multiple dtbs, but for the mainline we only have one. Cheers Jon

There is indeed a single dts in mainline, but depthcharge will use the revision to match the compatible string (e.g. it will look for google,nyan-big-rev5, not google,nyan-big), so we need to list them all in that single dts. Otherwise, depthcharge will fall back to the default config, which may or may not be suitable for nyan.

You can't expect that to always be the case. The image format allows many different dts to be provided, so I could easily build with multi_v7_defconfig and have various dts for various devices in the same image, and just select a random one as default. Here, default is really a fallback, the right one is expected to be detected by this mechanism. And it really doesn't hurt to provide that information for proper detection. Note that this is done with many other cros devices in mainline (such as rk3288 veyrons).

Really? Sounds odd. I was hoping that tegra124-nyan-big.dtb would be a catch all. > Here, default is really a fallback, the right one is expected to be detected by > this mechanism.

Yes, I guess the same is true for the tegra210-smaug and we do define all the revs for that one. May be extend the changelog comment to say what may happen without this change and the problem that this is fixing. Jon

Sounds odd. I was hoping that tegra124-nyan-big.dtb would be a > catch all. Yes, the image format (FIT) allows specifying multiple dtb and zImage combinations in the same image[0].

I meant I was hoping that compatible = "google,nyan-big" would be the catchall not the dtb file name ;-) > Yes, the image format (FIT) allows specifying multiple dtb and zImage > combinations in the same image[0]. Yes I am aware of that. Typically, I have been testing using a FIT image with single zImage and dtb. Hence no problems. So are you wanting to create a FIT image to support multiple boards and use the single FIT image for all? If so then I can see why you want this. Again please describe the motivation for the changes in the changelog so it is clear why we are adding this. Cheers Jon
Resending with the right CC chain.

Depthcharge (the payload used with cros devices) will attempt to detect boards using their revision. This includes all the known revisions for the nyan-big board so that the dtb can be selected preferably.
