[PATCH 30/32] fdt: Allow the devicetree to come from a bloblist

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Wed Aug 30 20:05:01 CEST 2023


Standard passage provides for a bloblist to be passed from one firmware
phase to the next. That can be used to pass the devicetree along as well.
Add an option to support this.

Tests for this will be added as part of the Universal Payload work.
