Description

Apertis currently supports Renesas R-Car M3 Starter Kit Pro (M3SK/m3ulcb) and Renesas R-Car H3 Starter Kit Premier (H3SK/h3ulcb), however, u-boot is not able to detect the right variant and sets renesas/r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb as default dtb causing m3 variant not to boot with default environment.

Impact of bug

R-car M3 boards with default environment are not able to boot, however, after setting the proper environment setting they boot fine.

Attachments

Add further information about the environment in the form of attachments here. Attach plain text files from log output (from journalctl, systemctl, …) or long backtraces as attached files. If adding comments on the log is required create a new snippet and add the link to it here.
