[PATCH 1/2] ARM: dts: dra7-evm: increase QSPI SPL partition size

[Ravi Babu]

The SPL size for DRA74x platform has increased and
is now more than 64KB. Increase QSPI SPL partition
size to 256KB for DRA74x EVM.

QSPI partition numbering changes because of this.

And this will break the existing partitions potentially..
See what was discussed on the list few days ago in thread
"[PATCH 1/6] ARM: dts: am335x-phycore-som: Update NAND
partition table".

It's best to have these left empty or as they originally
were and let u-boot configure the partitions.

Tony

Agree with you. For dra7xx platform the SPL size has been increased to 256KB and hence the existing QSPI SPL partition in kernel (64K size) will break when latest mainline u-boot is used. 
Here only SPL partition has been changed and other partition & size is NOT changed and kept intact. I feel it will not break the existing partitions for dra7xx platform.

What about the renumbering of partitions in your patch?

Probably just best to make the partition information empty in the
kernel as discussed.

Thats true, partitions will get renumbered. But mtd numbering can change
depending on probe order of devices anyway. So usespace which uses
hardcoded mtd partition numbers is pretty fragile already, I guess.

Given that existing dtbs already have the partition information, wont
this be treated as a regression for someone upgrading to new kernel?

Going forward, is the preference that new boards shall not have
partition information in DT?

Well these "flag day" type changes are not acceptable because they are
impossible to coordinate. You can't assume people update their bootloader
on regular basis, or update both bootloader and kernel to some specific
versions.

Yes or else it will have to stay as it was originally set because
of these issues.

[PATCH 2/2] ARM: dts: dra72x-evm: increase QSPI SPL partition size

[Ravi Babu]

The SPL size for DRA72x platform has increased and
is now more than 64KB. Increase QSPI SPL partition
size to 256KB for DRA72x EVM.

QSPI partition numbers change because of this.
