[PATCH] of/fdt: add kernel command line option for dtb_compat string

[dirk . brandewie]

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@xxxxxxxxx>

Adds a kernel command line option "dtb_compat=<string>".  This string
will be used to select the first compatible device tree blob linked
into the kernel if a device tree blob is was *not* passed in by the
bootloader.
