From 84ec1554e2a7b80202c01d6e04201bd5ea986cb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Borleis Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2017 11:32:32 +0200 Subject: state: use the given backend storage type name Change 119f92b27e131a0cb506fe8d8bffe8010fb14a3d already tried to fix it, but forgets the 'direct' usecase. The 'backend-storage-type' node is optional. Its default depends on the capability of the used backend memory, which means "circular" or NULL. The latter defaults to 'direct' in the routines. If it is NULL, the devicetree fixup routine skips exporting a 'backend-storage-type' node to the kernel's devicetree. But currently if the 'backend-storage-type' node is explicitly given as 'direct', it will be skipped silently and set to NULL instead. In this case the user of the 'barebox-state' tool then ends up with the warning: "No backend-storage-type found, using default" which is annoying, because it was given. Storing the given value will still use a NULL if the 'backend-storage-type' node isn't defined, but stores everything else if it is defined. Then the 'backend-storage-type' node is present in the kernel's devicetree as well.
