KERNEL LOGS

I had this impression that cat slots will not work, because it was removed from kernel, but if my dtbo is working but its working ny compatible string match via of_ mechanism.

My objective was to strip down the i2c driver to bare minimum and make it load at boot time using device tree overlay.

I do not see my driver loaded after doing lsmod. Nor the probe print I have put in adxl34x.c probe.

Where am I wrong here? What did I miss.

I am only following this

eMMC bootloader is too old, nuke that..

Nuke this file, it disables the u-boot overlay path..

Hi Robert,

Yes I have removed this uEnv.txt and used another one that is here,

https://pastebin.com/9zHdiHd0

Now I am able to load overlay at boot and my driver also gets loaded. 

Just one thing I only see error logs in kernel boot up.
