Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 53/74] dtc: Add support for missing root node in addon device-tree
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 11:49:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826094950.1088288-54-herve.codina@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826094950.1088288-1-herve.codina@bootlin.com>
Addon can have orphan nodes fully described (dts) and encoded (dtb)
without the need for a root device tree.
Contrary to plugin (overlay), addon doesn't need any specific root tree
structure to described the orphans. Indeed, /fragment@n/__overlay__
doesn't exist for addons. Orphans are encoded in dtb using the
FDT_BEGIN_NODE_REF tag without any impact on the root tree.
The following snippet is fully legit for addon:
--- 8< ---
/addon/;
&foo {
subnode {
prop = <1>;
};
}
--- 8< ---
This snippet doesn't contains a root device tree, and the related dtb
doesn't need any root device tree to encode the snippet.
The root device is no more mandatory for addon.
Add support for addon without a root device-tree.
