[RFC/PATCH 6/7] arm/devicetree: Allow .dtb to be carried in thezImage payload
From: Grant Likely
Date: Fri Feb 19 2010 - 14:29:17 EST
This patch allows a device tree blob to be linked into the zImage
executable to be passed into the kernel via an ATAG. The kernel
can either use the linked in .dtb, or override it with a .dtb
passed in by firmware.
This patch doesn't handle relocation correctly yet. Not ready to be merged
