  1. config ARM_APPENDED_DTB
  2. bool "Use appended device tree blob to zImage (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  3. depends on OF && !ZBOOT_ROM && EXPERIMENTAL
  4. help
  5. With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
  6. (DTB) appended to zImage
  7. (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
  8.  
  9. This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
  10. systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
  11. the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
  12.  
  13. Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
  14. this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
  15. look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
  16. to zImage. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
  17. if you don't intend to always append a DTB. Proper passing of the
  18. location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
  19. to this option.
