From 978928e4acb0ee4e335eaf4bf8feca895f372418 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxime Ripard Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2012 14:32:47 +0200 Subject: Add support for appended device tree blobs for arm This patch adds support for the ARM-only appended device tree mechanism present in the kernel. This option allows to add at the end of the kernel image the device tree blob so that we can still boot device tree enabled kernels with old bootloaders. This patch also adds the needed logic to genereate such an image when building zImages or uImages, also adding the necessary parts to rebuild the uImage.
