…4ddde18bbc4129eeda43dd20c2a on Sept 17 2024. That changed uuu_bootloader_tag.bbclass by adding a line to default the variable "UUU_BOOTLOADER" to "${UBOOT_BINARY}".
This recipe was previously overriding UUU_BOOTLOADER for the machines mx6-generic-bsp and mx7-generic-bsp, but all others (including imx8) had "UUU_BOOTLOADER" set to an empty string - which disables the cp command in meta-freescale's uuu_bootloader_tag.bbclass.
However the meta-freescale commit mentioned above broke this by adding overrides for "UUU_BOOTLOADER:mx8-generic-bsp" and "UUU_BOOTLOADER:mx9-generic-bsp". Those ":mx*-generic-bsp" overrides take priority over any plain "UUU_BOOTLOADER=" statements, regardless of layer priority. Thus that enabled the cp command mentioned above and mx8 builds now started looking for a file "imx-boot" in this u-boot-imx recipe, but it doesn't exist because this recipe doesn't make that file on mx8 devices.
So my proposed fix is to add machine specific overrides in this u-boot-imx recipe that will take priority over meta-freescale. Note that this will not affect the imx-boot recipe that does make the "imx-boot" file and thus needs UUU_BOOTLOADER" to have a different value
