- config ARM_APPENDED_DTB
- bool "Use appended device tree blob to zImage (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on OF && !ZBOOT_ROM && EXPERIMENTAL
- help
- With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
- (DTB) appended to zImage
- (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
- This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
- systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
- the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
- Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
- this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
- look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
- to zImage. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
- if you don't intend to always append a DTB. Proper passing of the
- location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
- to this option.
