Subject: [PATCH v2] nvmem: layouts: u-boot-env: add optional "env-size" property
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 03:07:41 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251022230740.200742-1-flizarthanon@gmail.com> (raw)
Some devices reserve a larger NVMEM region for the U-Boot environment
than the actual environment data length used by U-Boot itself. The CRC32
in the U-Boot header is calculated over the smaller data length, causing
CRC validation to fail when Linux reads the full partition.
Allow an optional device tree property "env-size" to specify the
environment data size to use for CRC computation.
v2: add missing $ref line to DT binding
Signed-off-by: Jascha Sundaresan <flizarthanon@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
- Added missing "$ref" line to schema for env-size
- Confirmed dt_binding_check passes
