 That's not true.
 Even if we find a version of the firmware files that works for every
RPI boards that all of our users have right now, we will need to update
them when a new RPI boards is out. And with the Compute Module 4 being
out and a lot more carrier board being made than for the CM3 I expect a
lot more firmware updates than before.

 Your earlier proposal was to commit into base a modified DTS based on
(I think) a decompiled version of the rpi-firmware DTB and put that in
place of the Linux mainline DTS (which is different) in the contrib
device-tree import tree.
 This cannot work in the long time, if you don't see a problem I'm
soryr for you.

 You can still do that.

 Same thing, you can still do that.

 That's not what this thread is about.
