Hi Elliot,

I am just picking up the discussion here, which was started on another thread.

I can't see why this new feature is needed. We should be able to use
compatible strings, as we do now. I added a 'usage' section to the FIT
spec [1] which might help. I also incorporated the board revision and
variant information and some notes on how to add to the available
suffixes.

Does that handle your use case?

-rev and -sku don't fit the versioning scheme for QTI devices, so this
isn't a generic enough approach. Patch 5 in this series describes the
versioning scheme for us.

In the other thread, we had talked about using some regex based approach
for matching the root node compatible. I haven't had chance to work on
that proposal and will try to get to it in the next couple weeks.

OK, I look forward to it. Please do check the FIT best match approach
and see how it might be extended to handle your requirements. So far I
have not seen a need for regexes, but it is certainly a possibility.

Regards,
Simon
