    Thanks for the reply Konstantin.  Does that mean you have the overlay patch applied to your kernel tree?
    
    An alternative design that I am considering is having two complete device trees in a fit image, and u-boot reads the gpios to pick the correct dtb for linux.  Did you consider a design like that and if so, was there anything specific that sent you in the direction of overlays?

This sounds like a great design, I was also thinking in this same direction. It will avoid kernel changes for overlays.
    
    thx - brad
