Subject: [PATCH 2/2] globalvar: add helpers for stashing global variables
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 15:43:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312144325.2157379-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312144325.2157379-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
Configuring a FIT image boot with overlays involves setting not only
global.bootm.* variables, but also global.of.overlay.* variables.
For use in custom boot entry functions, provide functions for stashing
and restoring a set of variables. This allows dry run and boot fallback
behavior to not affect later boot attempts.
