[PATCH v7] fdt: Allow the devicetree to come from a bloblist

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Thu Jan 4 02:49:19 CET 2024


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.

The discussion on this was not resolved and is now important due to the
bloblist series from Raymond. So I am sending it again since I believe
this is a better starting point than building on OF_BOARD

Changes in v7:
- Drop use of OF_BLOBLIST

Changes in v6:
- Don't allow bloblist with OF_EMBED

Changes in v5:
- Make OF_BLOBLIST default y
- Make OF_BLOBLIST optional at runtime

Changes in v4:
- Rebase to -next

 If CONFIG_SANDBOX is defined, then it will be read from a file on
 startup. Use the -d flag to U-Boot to specify the file to read, -D for the
 default and -T for the test devicetree, used to run sandbox unit tests.
