From 82f766d1d2c580a29bed340ea4dd9fa1b8ff05e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Deymo Date: Sun, 2 Apr 2017 01:25:20 -0700 Subject: Allow boards to initialize the DT at runtime. In some boards like the Raspberry Pi the initial bootloader will pass a DT to the kernel. When using U-Boot as such kernel, the board code in U-Boot should be able to provide U-Boot with this, already assembled device tree blob. This patch introduces a new config option CONFIG_OF_BOARD to use instead of CONFIG_OF_EMBED or CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE which will initialize the DT from a board-specific funtion instead of bundling one with U-Boot or as a separated file. This allows boards like the Raspberry Pi to reuse the device tree passed from the bootcode.bin and start.elf firmware files, including the run-time selected device tree overlays.
