[PATCH v4 1/7] arm/dt: Make __vet_atags also accept a dtb image

From: Grant Likely
Date: Tue Feb 22 2011 - 21:22:19 EST


The dtb is passed to the kernel via register r2, which is the same
method that is used to pass an atags pointer. This patch modifies
__vet_atags to not clear r2 when it encounters a dtb image.

v2: fixed bugs pointed out by Nicolas Pitre
