[PATCH 1/2] mips: mscc: build FIT image for Ocelot

[PATCH 1/2] mips: mscc: build FIT image for Ocelot

[Alexandre Belloni]

Ocelot now has a u-boot port, allow building FIT images instead of relying
on the legacy detection and builtin DTB.

[PATCH 2/2] mips: generic: allow not building DTB in

[Alexandre Belloni]

Allow not building any DTB in the generic kernel so it gets smaller. This
is necessary for ocelot because it can be built as a legacy platform that
needs a built-in DTB and it can also handle a separate DTB once it is
updated with a more modern bootloader. In the latter case, it is preferable
to not include any DTB in the kernel image so it is smaller.

Since bootloaders can modify DTs before passing them to the kernel (e.g.
to add cmdline args or memory nodes), that would seem to make it
impossible to have a kernel supporting both legacy bootloader, and a
u-boot which might do that DT tweaking.

Or perhaps its not important for this platform.

Won't that result in DTBs being built unnecessarily on other platforms
which support BUILTIN_DTB but don't have it enabled?

I suppose the alternative is another Kconfig symbol for when building of
DTBs is needed, selected by BUILTIN_DTB and MIPS_GENERIC.

An #ifdef would do, but no matter if it works. Though shouldn't that be
if !IS_ENABLED (or #ifndef)?

A comment would be great here too to mention why its helpful.

It is still possible to generate a FIT image containing a kernel with a
built in DTB and a separate DTB:

Does it matter? On arm all the DTBs for selected platforms are always
built. It is not adding much to the build time.

IIRC, without that change, it is not possible to build any dtb without
having CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB set.

No, that is exactly the configuration I need to remove when no DTB has
been built in the kernel. In that case, it doesn't make sense to provide
a configuration using only the kernel.
