[PATCH v2 18/18] bloblist: Load the bloblist from the previous loader

Raymond Mao raymond.mao at linaro.org
Mon Nov 27 20:50:29 CET 2023


During bloblist initialization, when CONFIG_OF_BOARD is defined,
invoke the platform custom function to load the bloblist via boot
arguments from the previous loader.
If the bloblist exists, copy it into the fixed bloblist memory region.
