sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware: don't install device tree blobs
Upstream git repo provides binaries of two natures in a single repository: * boot firmware files; * prebuilt kernel files. boot/*.dtb, boot/overlays/ belong to kernel, not boot firmware. But for historical reasons, these files were installed by sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware package rather than sys-kernel/raspberrypi-image, which would be more correct. The problem with this is that users of kernels different than sys-kernel/raspberrypi-image need to install different files into these locations. This means such people have to avoid using sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware package completely. A blocker dependency on old sys-kernel/raspberrypi-image versions is added to protect from a situation when just raspberrypi-firmware is being upgraded, and the machine ends up not having device tree files. Upgrading to a new version may cause a disruption if the user doesn't use sys-kernel/raspberrypi-image but still relies on device tree files installed by raspberrypi-firmware package. This will be dealt with by a news item. A special USE flag for smooth transition of such users is considered an overkill, on presumption that this package is not massively popular. Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.66, Repoman-2.3.16 Signed-off-by: Andrey Utkin <andrey_utkin@gentoo.org>
