Subject: fs: change the way the device table is configured
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=64ec20e6c019e329bf6923fbf330b86b3cfad524;p=buildroot.git

fs: change the way the device table is configured

Until now, the location of the device table was specified by a
variable in board Makefiles. Unfortunately, this variable is not
accessible from fs/common.mk, since the target/ code is included
*after* fs/common.mk.

Anyway, the general idea is to move away from these boards Makefile,
and provide configuration option for things like the device table
location.

Therefore, this patch adds a BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE option which
allows to specify which device table should be used.
