Subject: [PATCH RFT 1/4] efi: payload: ignore ESP state.dtb if device tree is populated
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:15:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826121640.2936023-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826121640.2936023-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

In preparation for allowing the state nodes to ship inside the barebox
binary (as we do for non-EFI-payload already), add provisions to skip
the external file if barebox already has a populated DT.

Also for the case that a state had already been set up, skip manual
creation of the state node.
