BBB unknown (no name) overlay in 5.10.168-ti-rx

To make sure it wasn’t me messing anything up I downloaded IOT image of am335x-debian-11.8-iot-armhf-2023-10-07-4gb.img and burned to SD card and then booted beaglebone black with the SD card.

Pretty much as expected except for overlay with name of name. I have no idea what this overlay is or what it’s configuring.

debian@BeagleBone:~$ uname -r
5.10.168-ti-r72

debian@BeagleBone:~$ ls /proc/device-tree/chosen/overlays
BB-ADC-00A0.kernel  BB-BONE-eMMC1-01-00A0.kernel  BB-BONE-LCD4-01-00A1.kernel  name

Any suggestions to tie it to a .dts file or to somehow figure out what is setting up?

Just ignore it, it’s always been there…

Part of the “proc” directory, probably device-tree api structure…

debian@23-am335x-bbb:/proc/device-tree/chosen$ cat name 
chosendebian@23-am335x-bbb:/proc/device-tree/chosen$ cd overlays/
debian@23-am335x-bbb:/proc/device-tree/chosen/overlays$ cat name 
overlaysdebian@23-am335x-bbb:/proc/device-tree/chosen/overlays$
