[Buildroot] [RFC/next v2 1/2] package/rpi-firmware: rework boot/config file handling

[Yann E. MORIN]

Peter, All,

Second part of the review... ;-)

On 2021-02-16 21:11 +0100, Peter Seiderer spake thusly:
> Try to be less smart (focused on the one target/one use-case),
> instead reduce the rpi-firmware package to a selectable list
> of (verbatim) installed firmware files.
> 
> - change rpi-firmware config handling from rpi-variant/rpi-flavour
>   choices to bootcode.bin, pi-default/-extended/-cut-down and
>   pi4-/default/-extended/-cut-down selection
> 
> - add BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_CONFIG_FILE option to select installable
>   config.txt file
> 
> - remove config.txt modify code/handling from raspberry post-image.sh
>   script
> 
> - add different customized config.txt files to the raspberry board
>   section
> 
> - change raspberry defconfigs to select appropiate rpi-firmware
>   and config.txt files
> 
> - change genimage-raspberrypi4.cfg/genimage-raspberrypi4-64.cfg to
>   use start4.elf and fixup4.dat
> 
> With this changes a better support for custom use-cases should

What about:

    RPI_FIRMWARE_FILES = \
        $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_BOOTCODE_BIN),bootcode.bin) \
        $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI),start.elf fixup.dat) \
        $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI_X),startx.elf fixupx.dat) \
        $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI_CD),start_cd.elf fixup_cd.dat) \
        $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI4),start4.elf fixup4.dat) \
        $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI4_X),start4x.elf fixup4x.dat) \
        $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI4_CD),start4cd.elf fixup4cd.dat)

Or alternatively:

    RPI_FIRMWARE_FILES_$(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_BOOTCODE_BIN) += bootcode.bin
    RPI_FIRMWARE_FILES_$(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI) += start.elf fixup.dat
    RPI_FIRMWARE_FILES_$(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI_X) += startx.elf fixupx.dat
    RPI_FIRMWARE_FILES_$(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI_CD) += start_cd.elf fixup_cd.dat
    RPI_FIRMWARE_FILES_$(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI4) += start4.elf fixup4.dat
    RPI_FIRMWARE_FILES_$(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI4_X) += start4x.elf fixup4x.dat
    RPI_FIRMWARE_FILES_$(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_VARIANT_PI4_CD) += start4cd.elf fixup4cd.dat

    define RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_BIN
        $(foreach f,$(RPI_FIRMWARE_FILES_y),
            $(INSTALL) -D -m 0644 $(@D)/$(f) $(BINARIES_DIR)/rpi-firmware/$(f)
        )
    endef

> +define RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_BIN
> +	for firmwbin in  $(RPI_FIRMWARE_FILES); do \

Use a make-level $(foreach) loop rather than a shell loop (see example
above).
