Hi all,

Back in August I started a thread[1] on the cross-distro list at linaro
on standardising the location of dtb files. While tehre was not a lot
fo input there was a consensus to use /boot/dtb/ as the location. since
the dtb generation is still tied to kernel building. I would like to
have us have the most recently installed kernel link its dtb directory
to /boot/dtb/ I am working on a change for Fedora 21 to get u-boot that
we provide loading the dtb automatically and there is no way that ive
worked out to have u-boot work out the path as they exist today.

I realise its not perfect and may cause issues if you try to boot an
older kernel. I would like some feedback on how best to implement it so
I can go off and write some patches for review.


Thanks in advance


Dennis
