[PATCH V3 2/2] scripts: dtc: Build fdtoverlay and fdtdump tools

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Thu Jan 07 2021 - 01:26:32 EST


We will start building overlays for platforms soon in the kernel and
would need these tools going forward. Lets start building them.

The fdtoverlay program applies (or merges) one ore more overlay dtb
blobs to a base dtb blob. The kernel build system would later use
fdtoverlay to generate the overlaid blobs based on platform specific
configurations.

The fdtdump program prints a readable version of a flat device-tree
file. This is a very useful tool to analyze the details of the overlay's
dtb and the final dtb produced by fdtoverlay after applying the
overlay's dtb to a base dtb.
