Re: [PATCH v2 5/5] arm64: dts: mt7986: add overlay for SATA power socket on BPI-R3

Hi Angelo

Bpi-r3 can boot with only 1 mmc device and 1 spi-device. Some users may not use the sata overlay. Using overlays in fit have the advantage to probe hardware in uboot and load the required overlays instead of loading a full dtb.

The base-dtb is needed,but i prefer have 1 base-dt and overlays (in 1 fit image dynamically load in uboot) instead of 4+ full dtbs,but some people prefer using the full dtbs.

>dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_MEDIATEK) += mt7986a-bananapi-bpi-r3-nor.dtbo <-- makes no sense!

Depends on users preference :) full dtb is easier to load,but less flexible.

That will break my current way :( openwrt uses same.

Need to try this.
