This patch provides the ability to boot using a device tree that is appended to the raw binary zImage (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb). Signed-off-by: John Bonesio <redacted> ---
Tested on mx51 babbage. The non-dt kernel works fine, but dt kernel does not. I tracked it down a little bit and found, before calling kernel from arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S, the dtb magic number (at address pointed by r8) was interpolated to 0x73fbc000 which happens to be the value of 'uart_base' assigned in plat-mxc/include/mach/uncompress.h. -- Regards, Shawn
