Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] efi: payload: ignore ESP state.dtb if device tree is populated
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 11:23:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015092554.210438-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015092554.210438-1-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.
Do the check before looking at the ESP, so a system with a built-in
state doesn't log that it was unable to read state.dtb. We only warn
if the file exists and is ignored.
Also for the case that a state had already been set up, skip manual
creation of the state node.
