Subject: [PATCH 00/11] firmware: qemu_fw_cfg: implement file system
Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2025 11:17:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250313101728.3546902-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

The character device we currently have is cumbersome to use.
The Linux way to access it at /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg
is much nicer to use, so this series adds support for a similar
FS to barebox.

A very nice result of having file system access to the QEMU variables
in barebox is that we get a trivial way to pass data to barebox.
To make it even more convenient to use, this series enables overriding
individual files in the environment via the new mechanism, e.g.:

  pytest --env nv/boot.default=fit --env boot/fit=@boot.sh
