2020-08-14libre: Merge uboot4extlinux{am335x,omap3}, uboot-omap4_panda: into ↵Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
uboot4extlinux-ti-soc uboot4extlinux-am335x and uboot4extlinux-omap3 were almost identical, the only difference was the extlinux.conf file. So they were migrated together in a single package for all TI SOCs. I think having a single package saves maintenance time: We only have one package to update for all the supported boards. One downside is that it can increase the compilation time, but in overal it probably saves a lot of time. Another downside is that we cannot test the package separately for each boards and have to test all the boards for each new update. However since we are very close to upstream u-boot, there is very few probability of having breakages that we don't know about. Factorizing the package can also increase confidence that it will work on the boards we don't have, by testing on the boards we have. For instance I've only been able to test this package on the following boards as I don't have any of the other boards: - Beagleboard XM - Beaglebone Green The support for the Pandaborad from uboot-omap4_panda was added along the way to furthurer unify u-boot packages. In addition the version was updated and some whitespace fixes were done. Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org>
