Downstream packages like Debian flash-kernel use
/proc/device-tree/model
to determine which dtb file to install.

Hence each dts in the Linux kernel should provide a unique model identifier.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/8/579 created the new file
imx6q-wandboard-revb1.dts but used the same model identifier
as in imx6q-wandboard.dts.

This patch provides a unique model identifier for revision B1 of
the Wandboard Quad.

v2:
	correct name of referenced Debian package

Okay, this seems a little silly....

The wandboard has 5 versions:

solo: imx6dl-wandboard-revb1.dts

model = "Wandboard i.MX6 Dual Lite Board";

dual rev b: imx6dl-wandboard-revb1.dts

model = "Wandboard i.MX6 Dual Lite Board";

dual rev c: imx6dl-wandboard.dts

model = "Wandboard i.MX6 Dual Lite Board";

quad rev b: imx6q-wandboard-revb1.dts
model = "Wandboard i.MX6 Quad Board"; - > model = "Wandboard i.MX6
Quad Board rev B1";

quad rev c: imx6q-wandboard.dts
model = "Wandboard i.MX6 Quad Board";


Do you guys see the issue?  Either we change them "ALL", rev b or rev c...

Or "flash-kernel" needs to learn to copy more then one dtb (in this
case 5 *.dtb's)

PS, u-boot already can boot on all these with the same SPL/u-boot
image and detect which board and load the correct device tree binary..

Hello Robert,

I only see four dts files mentioned in your mail (solo using the same as
dual rev B1).

We do not know if imx6dl-wandboard.dts and imx6q-wandboard.dts
will support future revisions of the boards. So it doesn't make
much sense to mark them as restricted to revision C1.

You are right in that we should add a change to
imx6dl-wandboard-revb1.dts to the same patch.

Best regards

Heinrich Schuchardt
