How to get rid of cape-universal in kernel 4.14?

[TJF]

I'm testing kernel

$ uname -a
Linux arm 4.14.54-ti-r63 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 12 21:26:13 UTC 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

and I want to disable the cape-universal stuff. Regardless what I configure in /boot/uEnv.txt, I always get a message in

$ dmesg | grep univ
[    1.124019] gpio-of-helper ocp:cape-universal: ready

and the folder

# ls -l /sys/devices/platform/ocp/ocp:cape-*
insgesamt 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 Aug 11 08:26 driver -> ../../../../bus/platform/drivers/gpio-of-helper
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Aug 11 08:26 driver_override
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Aug 11 08:26 modalias

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    0 Aug 11 08:26 power
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Aug 11 08:26 status
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 Aug 11 08:26 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/platform
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Aug 11 08:26 uevent

is full of that cape-universal stuff.

How to get rid of that?

Note: I'm sure that I'm working on the right partition, since there is only one mounted.

Sure, open /boot/uEnv.txt and comment out:

enable_uboot_overlays=1

->

#enable_uboot_overlays=1

Well here is the changes you need to do to your custom cape, to be
fully compatible with "ocp:cape-universal" today...

All the pin's you utilized must be "disabled" in the cape-universal node:

If you don't like that, you can also remove the trigger file:

sudo rm /boot/dtbs/`uname -r`/am335x-boneblack-uboot-univ.dtb

But you'll still have the "ocp:cape-universal" node, as P9_19/P9_20 is
exported by this (i2c by default, but you can enable can on them)

To remove that last one:

Thanks, Robert!

No way!

sudo rm /boot/dtbs/`uname -r`/am335x-boneblack-uboot-univ.dtb

That worked! It saved about 5 seconds boot time and a lot an memory!

To remove that last one:

enable_uboot_overlays=1

->

#enable_uboot_overlays=1

Regards,

And what is that symbol for?

enable_uboot_cape_universal=1

Does it have any function "today ..."? Why isn't trigger file import controlled by this variable?
