[PATCH 4/4] ARM:boot:device tree: Allow multiple device trees to be appended to zImage

John Bonesio bones at secretlab.ca
Tue Mar 1 10:33:56 EST 2011


This patch allows mutliple device tree binaries to be appended to zImage. A
device tree binary is selected when the 'machine_type' property in the root
node in the dtb matches the machine type passed in by the boot loader.

If the device tree binary does not have the 'machine_type' property, the device
tree is assumed to match the machine type. If no device tree binary matches,
the kernel attempts to boot with out a device tree.
