Re: Compiled in boot environment and dtbo files

While I have not yet used overlays in barebox, and don't know what is
wrong here, the order of loading is not what you think.
I think I got your point.
Setting those parameters are not really loading stuff. 
So the setting order has nothing to do with load order, the booting itself
loads the stuff and the kernel gets a prepared list of addresses where each
part was located from the bootloader.
the file name, so the file is loaded when of_overlay is run.  Looks
like that fixup process run by bootm didn't work for some reason and
this is the source of the errors.
I will prepare another mail to this list replying to Sascha what I found out
about that error meanwhile. It is not much but probably the problem is not
barebox related I suppose.
To be more consistent with the rest of bootm, there should probably be
variables "global.bootm.ofoverlay.*" and bootm will load the files in
those variables as overlays.  Those improvements Sascha alluded to are
probably something like this.
Thanks for the information.

Kind Regards
Konsti
