In the 2021.1 and later PetaLinux releases, the Device-tree fails to build when DT nodes are modified using the custom meta layer shown below.
1) Add a custom layer by following UG1144.
2) In the example below, meta-avnet is the custom meta layer. If you are modifying DT node properties for QSPI flash nodes in <plnx-proj-root>/project-spec/meta-avnet/recipes-bsp/device-tree/files/mz7010-som/system-bsp.dtsi as shown below, the device-tree fails to build.
$ cat <plnx-proj-root>/project-spec/meta-avnet/recipes-bsp/device-tree/files/mz7010-som/system-bsp.dtsi
/ {
};
/* QSPI partitions are defined with petalinux-config and described in system.conf.dtsi */

This is a known issue in the 2021.1 and later versions of PetaLinux.
Root Cause:
Due to changes in the 2021.1 and later versions of PetaLinux, The priority of the meta-user layer is moved from 6 to 7, so the meta-avnet BBFILE having a priority of 5 causes device-tree build errors.
The system-bsp.dtsi from the meta-avnet layer will be appended in system-top.dts first and then the system-user.dtsi from the meta-user layer as shown below:
/dts-v1/;
#include "zynq-7000.dtsi"
#include "pl.dtsi"
#include "pcw.dtsi"
/ {
chosen {
bootargs = "earlycon";
stdout-path = "serial0:115200n8";
};
aliases {
ethernet0 = &gem0;
serial0 = &uart1;
spi0 = &qspi;
};
memory {
device_type = "memory";
reg = <0x0 0x40000000>;
};
};
#include "system-bsp.dtsi"
#include "system-user.dtsi"
This is due to the Yocto device-tree recipe do_configure bitbake task in the meta-avnet layer being executed before the meta-user layer.
The flash dt nodes are generated by the PetaLinux tools (system-conf.dtsi) based on the petalinux-config QSPI partition options. This system-conf.dtsi will be included from system-user.dtsi.
In the above scenario if you have any flash dt node properties in system-bsp.dtsi from meta-avnet, it causes build conflicts with system-conf.dtsi due to the order in which it is processed.
As a result, it is recommended to set meta-avnet or any custom meta-layer to have the same or lower priority than the meta-user layer, especially with device-tree recipes included in meta layers.
To work around this issue, follow the below steps:
1) Change the BBFILE_PRIORITY value from 5 to 7 in meta-avent/conf/layers.conf file using a text editor:
BBFILE_PRIORITY_meta-avnet = "7"
2) Clean the device-tree sstate cache and rebuild the device-tree recipes:
$ petalinux-build -c device-tree -x cleansall
$ petalinux-build -c device-tree
