Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ARM: zImage: Allow the appending of a device tree binary
Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2011 02:06:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1307858800-16712-3-git-send-email-nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1307858800-16712-1-git-send-email-nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>

From: John Bonesio <bones@secretlab.ca>

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 <bones@secretlab.ca>
[nico: adjusted to latest zImage changes plus additional cleanups]
