Alexey, All,

> Allows to create grub2 memdisk from specified directory

Can you expand a bit on what you're trying to achieve with this?

This patch is about grub2, so the option is incorrectly mnamed, its
prompt is incorrect, and the help text is incorrect too, as they refer
to iso, not grub2.

Why did you put that in $(HOST_DIR) ? Why can't you put that in $(@D)
instead?

Note: you may even use $(GRUB2_BUILD_DIR) instead of $(@D), this is more
future-proof.

> +	# clean artefacs from previos build

No need to repeat.

> +	rm -rf $(HOST_DIR)/memdisk.tar

You can use a single command to remove both the dir and file. Although
there should be no need to remove the file, as tar will overwrite it
anyway.

> +	mkdir -p $(HOST_DIR)/grub2_memdisk
> +	cp -r $(BR2_TARGET_GRUB2_MEMDISK_DIR)/* $(HOST_DIR)/grub2_memdisk/

cp -r does not preserve all attributes of files, so you should use cp -a
instead.

But before you fix and respin, please explain what you are trying to
achieve eith this patch (and the next one too).

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
