[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] Fix rasberry Pi 64bit firmware overlay inclusion

[Yann E. MORIN]

Matt, All,

On 2019-01-03 22:00 +1100, Matt Flax spake thusly:
> This patch enables the inclusion of the Pi's overlays. Previously
> the overlays were not included in the genimage configuration.
> This patch ensures overlays are included in the sdcard (when
> enabled) by defaulting to the inclusion of an empty
> output/images/rpi-firmware/overlays directory in genimage cfg.
> 
> The Pi's overlays are built with the following config
> variables:
> BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE=y
> BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTBS=y
> BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS=y
> BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_TARGET_CUSTOM=y
> BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_NAME="Image"
> BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_TARGET_NAME="Image modules dtbs"
> 
> After building, the dtbo files are present in the
> output/images/rpi-firmware/overlays directory but not added
> to the sdcard because they are missing from the genimage cfg
> file.

After a quick discussion on IRC woth Thomas, we find that this patch is
indeed acceptable.

However, I have a minor comment about it, see below...

No need for the '|| exit 1' part in this case.

It is important to use it ion the loop, above, because it is a shell
loop, so an error in the commands would not be noticed. Here however,
this is a single command, so it will return in error if it fils and make
will notice.

Barring that, which can be fixed when applying:
