Subject: [PATCH 06/18] blspec: collect bootloader spec entries from ESP
Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 08:31:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250414063152.2736649-7-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250414063152.2736649-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

The spec points out that spec entries should be collected from ESP, even
when XBOOTLDR partitions exist, but at a lower priority.

Implement this logic in barebox. As barebox as EFI payload systems have
an ESP, but may have the bootloader spec files in a separate partition,
we can't skip the walk through all partitions when we have an ESP like
we do for XBOOTLDR partitions.
