* [U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] Add env vars describing U-Boot target board

This can be useful for generic scripts. For example, rather than hard-
coding a script to ext2load tegra-harmony.dtb, it could load
${board_soc}-${board_name}.dtb and hence not need adjustments to
run on multiple boards.

Wolfgang, does this seem like a reasonable feature? If so, can we merge
it through the Tegra tree, since the next patch enables this for Tegra.
Thanks!

So that all Tegra boards define environment variables that describe
themselves.

I do like the idea; this moves to the right direction for generic scripts :)

Please make this optional - I don't want to have this enforced on all
boards, whether they want it or not.

Best regards,

Wolfgang,

Thanks for taking a look. The variables are already optional; you need
to set CONFIG_ENV_VAR_* in order for common/env_*.c to add those
variables to the default environment. Is that OK?

Ah, now I see what you mean.  But this is awkward.  Why do we need
both CONFIG_ENV_VAR_<foo> and <foo> ?  Also note that these BOARD_*
names are kind of polluting the name space.  I don't like that.

Just use a single variable with an appropriate value for each of
these settings.  And don't pass these on the command line (which is
already unreadable enough), but add it to the auto-generated config
file.

And make the whole feature user selectable - I think it makes no sense
if you have to individually enable all the 5 settings.


Hm... thinking about this, I also don't like the "board_*" prefix.
What you actually have are names, i. e. it should probably read
"soc_name" instead of "board_soc", etc.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
