Flash-kernel: renamed device-trees
Hello Vagrant,
In Linux 5.19 the device-tree file for the Polarfire Icicle board has
been renamed
from microchip/microchip-mpfs-icicle-kit.dts
to microchip/mpfs-icicle-kit.dts
Together with a package like linux-firmware that tries to update all
initrds this creates havoc when upgrading (linux-firmware).
Furthermore when using the device-tree name from U-Boot we have a second
type of possible failure.
Current U-Boot has
CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE="microchip-mpfs-icicle-kit".
Do we have a means to handle such name-changes gracefully?
As the board has neither been supported by Debian Bullseye nor by Ubuntu
Jammy I guess the best solution is to patch U-Boot and flash-kernel both
to use the new name.
Best regards
Heinrich
