Commit Message

Currently Makefile produces final mpc85xx image when SPL is not used in
custom file u-boot-with-dtb.bin. It is quite confusing name as build
process produce also intermediate file standard file u-boot-dtb.bin (which
is just intermediate and not bootable). Other platforms use u-boot.bin
(UBOOT_BIN) as standard name for final bootable raw image.

So change Makefile rules and binman to produce final bootable file for
mpc85xx also into file u-boot.bin. There is just need for mpc85xx to not
define default rule for u-boot.bin then instruct binman (via DTS file) to
store final image into u-boot.bin (instead of u-boot-with-dtb.bin) and
finally rename target u-boot-with-dtb.bin to u-boot.bin.

With this change are also removed custom Makefile hacks for mpc85xx that it
produced non-standard output file. And also updated documentation.

At present u-boot.bin has a very standard meaning - it is U-Boot with the DT.

Boards which need something more than that can/should use binman to
create a separate file.

I certainly agree that u-boot-with-dtb.bin is a terrible name, though.
Something more descriptive would be better.

But is it possible to drop these SoC-specific rules in the Makefile
and just build everything needed in the standard binman rule in the
Makefile?

Regards,
Simon

I do not know what is binman doing and how to use it. I just do not see
reason why it is needed to use such additional tool for building final
binary for powerpc/mpc85xx as other arm boards do not use it at all.

Ad your comment "At present u-boot.bin has a very standard meaning - it
is U-Boot with the DT." - This is exactly what binman for mpc85xx
produces.

So I see there could be improvements, but as a first step this my patch
should be enough?

So, one of the issues with PowerPC stuff is that much of it is so far
behind the rest of U-Boot in terms of frameworks.  So yes, let us start
by fixing the functional problem you're describing here and then see
what appetite exists for further work here.

Ok, so these two patches in this patch series is a starting point.

Now I send another patch which does another cleanup in this area:
