However, for the case of the DT overlay mechanism, it's now being more and more widely used for the BeagleBone Black and the Raspberry Pi, so maybe we should make an exception for this. Opinion of other Buildroot developers on this is welcome. Thanks, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
