[PATCH 1/1 RFC] treewide: Deprecate OF_PRIOR_STAGE
Ilias Apalodimas

At some point back in 2018 prior_stage_fdt_address and OF_PRIOR_STAGE got
introduced, in order to support a DTB handed over by an earlier stage boot
loader. However we have another option in the Kconfig (OF_BOARD) which has
identical semantics.
A good example of this is RISC-V boards which during their startup,
pick up the DTB from a1 and copy it in their private gd_t. Apart from that
they also copy it to prior_stage_fdt_address, if the Kconfig option is
selected, which seems unnecessary(??).
This is mostly an RFC, trying to figure out if I am missing some subtle
functionality, which would justify having 2 Kconfig options doing similar
things present.
- Should we do this?
- Doesn't OF_BOARD and OF_PRIOR_STAGE practically mean "Someone else is
going to pass me my DTB". Why should we care if that someone is a prior
bootloader or runtime memory generated on the fly by U-Boot? It all
boils down to having a *board* specific callback for that.
- RISC-V binman should get rid of the option as well if we decide to go
though with this (but I have no idea what RISC-V expects there).
- Can we apply similar logic to OF_HOSTFILE? It seems like we could just
have a board_fdt_blob_setup() for the sandbox that reads the file we
want and get rid of another Kconfig option.
Note that the original board which introduced CONFIG_OF_PRIOR_STAGE is still
there. If someone cares enough I guess he could fix that as well, but I don't
have the board around, so I prefer keeping it as is and mark the option as
deprecated. For that board we could also keep the prior_stage_fdt_address
without the Kconfig option and simply copy the location there, but the
board must define it's own board_fdt_blob_setup(). That would get rid of
the Kconfig option entirely instead of limiting it to that board only.
