[Bug]: U-boot trying to load overlays from the wrong location (and failed)

[chemwolf6922]

What happened?

I'm using a 64bit board (nanopi neo 2). The overlay dtbs are located at /boot/dtb/allwinner/overlay/ as they should. But when booting, the following u-boot log was printed:

Failed to load '/boot/dtb/overlay/sun50i-h5-spi-spidev.dtbo'
Failed to load '/boot/dtb/overlay/sun50i-h5-fixup.scr'

u-boot is trying to load overlays in the 32bit system folder.

How to reproduce?

Flash a new system

Linux nanopineo2 6.6.62-current-sunxi64 #1 SMP Sun Nov 17 14:08:59 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux
Armbian_community 25.2.0-trunk.124 Bookworm 

Enable the spi-spidev by adding the following lines to /boot/armbianEnv.txt

overlays=spi-spidev
param_spidev_spi_bus=0
param_spidev_max_freq=100000000

Reboot. Look at the u-boot log.

The fdtfile u-boot env is wrong. It is set to

fdtfile=allwinner/sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2.dtb

This will lead to a wrong fdtdir (dtb). Which will lead to the wrong overlay files:

${fdtdir}/overlay/${overlay_prefix}-${overlay_file}.dtbo

A temporary fix: Adding this line to /boot/armbianEnv.txt to override the wrong env.

fdtfile=sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2.dtb

The fdtfile u-boot env is wrong. It is set to

fdtfile=allwinner/sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2.dtb

A temporary solution to the problem:
Please add to armbianEnv.txt file string fdtfile=sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2.dtb
without vendor's name

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
