8.6. Release v2025.03.0

8.6.1. OMAP console fixup

The option CONFIG_DRIVER_SERIAL_NS16550_OMAP_TTYS now controls whether barebox fixes up ttyS or ttyO into the kernel command line console= option.

8.6.2. fixed-partitions on SD/MMC

Linux v6.13-rc1 added CONFIG_OF_PARTITION, which interprets fixed-partitions nodes in SD/MMC nodes differently to the barebox behavior: It ignores the GPT/MBR if fixed-partitions are specified, instead of allowing them to co-exist like in barebox.

To accommodate both the existing barebox and the new kernel functionality, users should replace fixed-partitions-compatible device tree subnodes of SD/eMMC with barebox,fixed-partitions.

Similarly, the default for global.of_partition_binding has been changed to the new adaptive option, which fixes up barebox,fixed-partitions except for MTD.
