Hm. not sure.
misc/ directory is used for just dumps of information about devices i thought. I.e. documenting how various models of laptops look like.
I don't think it's used at all at the moment. However, I'm trying to use them with grub like so:
insmod smbios
smbios --type 1 --get-string 4 --linux --set dmi_svn # DMI_SYS_VENDOR
smbios --type 1 --get-string 5 --linux --set dmi_pn # DMI_PRODUCT_NAME
dmi_product=svn${dmi_svn}:pn${dmi_pn}
dtb=
if [ ${dmi_product} = "svnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:pnNovaGoTP370QL"]; then
dtb="msm8998-asus-novago-tp370ql.dtb"
fi
if [ ${dmi_product} = "svnLENOVO:pn81JL"]; then
dtb="sdm850-lenovo-yoga-c630.dtb"
fi
menuentry "Ubuntu {
linux ....
initrd ...
devicetree /boot/$dtb
}
Such that installer / firstboot can load something bootable, without having user manually pick/choose/provision dtb symlink.
Could you please provide a suitable commit message?
Please explain what they are used for and what would happen if they weren't applied.
