display_rotate deprecated

Hi, not sure if you are still maintaining this repository, hopefully you do :).

In recent firmware versions, the display_rotate variable has been deprecated in favour of the display_hdmi_rotate and display_lcd_rotate separate variables. See here:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md

This repository is used by the meta-raspberrypi Yocto BSP layer. It is possible to update your config.txt file to reflect this and keep up-to-date? Thanks!

Raspberry Pi 5 fails to boot with a large config.txt

Hi,

While adding Raspberry Pi 5 support in Yocto/OpenEmbedded BSP meta-raspberrypi we noticed that the board doesn't boot with a large config.txt file: agherzan/meta-raspberrypi#1237

I haven't seen this issue before on previous Raspberry Pi models and versions. @floion started a discussion in the Raspberry Pi forum. jamesh, Raspberry Pi Engineer & Forum Moderator, recommended to get rid of the comments and reduce the file size. In meta-raspberrypi we can do this easily with sed -i '/^##/d' $CONFIG (at least temporary until we have a better solution) but let's also report the issue here too.

Best regards,
Leon

Revision tracking

Current revision and date stamp is updated manually

Information is useful to compare against the wiki, to show what changes have occurred since last update.

How can the process be automated and still remain sensible?

Default image 'profile' settings

Recent changes to firmware and raspi-config allow setting of specific overclocking 'profiles'.

Addition of a table to show what each 'profile' actually sets within config.txt would be useful for those that do not run the default image.

Is this being maintained?

I ask because as I read this, it should be possible to control the RED POWER LED via dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=on. This seems to have no effect on my RPi 4B.

Also in my /boot/overlays/README, it says this:

        act_led_activelow       Set to "on" to invert the sense of the LED
                                (default "off")
                                N.B. For Pi 3B, 3B+, 3A+ and 4B, use the act-led
                                overlay.

And yes, I realize my quote refers to act_led, and not pwr_led, but the README implies that the pwr_led follow the same syntax & options as for act_led.

But the N.B. note suggests that the dtoverlay be used instead of dtparam; i.e. dtoverlay=act-led,activelow=on ?? Furthering my confusion is that there seems to be no dtoverlay for pwr-led. This makes me wonder if it's still valid to use dtparam` for the RED POWER LED?

Can you clarify any of this?
