In the meantime I'll send a v2 patch which just disables the driver in SPL.

Well, I suspect maybe part of the problem is that since the symbol
isn't migrated properly, it's not being not built when we don't need it.
I did the migration and queued up a build, I should have some answers
later today.

As I understand, of-platdata is only enabled in SPL. Is there a way to
limit imx_thermal drop to SPL? The thermal driver in not very useful in
SPL anyway, right?


As you pointed of-platdata is intended for TPL/SPL to avoid the overhead 
of DTB and libraries. If this option is enabled and the driver does not 
support it, the device won't be created in TPL/SPL but is should on 
U-Boot. In order to limit the drop to SPL can CONFIG_SPL_BUILD be used?


Regarding the usefulness of im_thermal in SPL I can't comment.


Well, sigh, step one is to finish the migration to Kconfig for
IMX_THERMAL as it has a symbol, but it's still set in a ton of board
config files.  We only build thermal in SPL when SPL_THERMAL is set, so
I assume this is about trying to use of-platdata in U-Boot proper too,
to keep / further reduce the size of U-Boot itself to stay within size
limits.

Walter

Well, sigh, step one is to finish the migration to Kconfig for
IMX_THERMAL as it has a symbol, but it's still set in a ton of board
config files.  We only build thermal in SPL when SPL_THERMAL is set, so
I assume this is about trying to use of-platdata in U-Boot proper too,
to keep / further reduce the size of U-Boot itself to stay within size
limits.

As I understand, of-platdata is only enabled in SPL. Is there a way to
limit imx_thermal drop to SPL? The thermal driver in not very useful in
SPL anyway, right?

[PATCH] imx: mx6cuboxi: Disable CONFIG_IMX_THERMAL

2020-10-28 Thread Simon Glass
This feature is incompatble with of-platdata since it uses the
U_BOOT_DEVICE() macro. With of-platdata the only devices permitted are
those created by dtoc.

Drop this option for now, until the driver can be corrected.
