      of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinux · aab94339
      Dirk Brandewie authored
      This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into
      vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking
      .dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt
      driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location
      before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image.
      
      Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to
      compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to
      wrap the blobs for linking.
      
      STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to
      create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib.  The
      STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the
      STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition.
      
      The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob
      with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob
      to get the structure alignment GCC expects.
      
      A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to
      be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using
         obj-y += foo.dtb.o
