Interesting - it's not immediately obvious why it is failing, but I think some part of the kernel overlay application mechanism has changed. I'll report back when I know more. |
It turns out that this is a problem in the dtoverlay utility, caused by failure to take account of a difference between how the firmware merges overlays and how the kernel does it. Overlays have to be "fixed up" - ensuring that label numbers don't clash with the base DTB - when loaded. They also need to have their parameters applied before they are merged with the base DTB. The firmware sequence is:
The standard kernel overlay mechanism uses a different sequence:
Note that the kernel doesn't understand parameters, so that stage is performed by the dtoverlay utility, leading to a combined sequence of:
where (A) means the dtoverlay application and (K) means the kernel. The problem occurs because, in the most recent images, a parameter can change a node name, and node names form part of the information using during the fixing up process. Here's an extract from the w1-gpio overlay, where you can see the onewire@0 in both sets of fix-ups:
What is needed is an extension to the "Apply parameters" step that also patches the fix-ups as necessary. It's not that difficult, but it may be a while before I get around to it. |
You will find an updated libdtovl.so here. Download it and copy it into /opt/vc/lib (you will need root permission, and you might want to save the original version in case you want to revert), then try the failing command again. Provided you don't find any problems the fixed library will be in the next firmware release. |

Yesterday's rpi-update release includes the new libdtovl.so, so you can run |
When the firmware applies an overlay it processes the fixups before applying any parameters. Under Linux, parameters are handled by the dtoverlay/dtparam application before submission to the kernel, which is where the fixups are applied. As a consequence, fixups must be modified if they refer to nodes which are renamed as the result of using a parameter. The process of updating the fixups (and symbols, in case the kernel cares in the future) is too heavyweight to want the firmware to do it unnecessarily, so internally use the fact that the fixups have been applied as an indication that they no longer need to be patched. See: raspberrypi/linux#2002

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
In short, the issue looks like:
I used the RPi image of 2017-04-10 and w1-gpio loaded well (kernel revision: e223d71).
Then, since I did apt-get upgrade (kernel revision: ef3b440) I've got the issue.
It seems that something was broken after kernel update 2c47f0d
Is it a kernel issue? Or it's a problem of dtoverlay utility?
