From: Stefani Seibold <stefani@xxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch enables external references for symbols which are not
exported by the current device tree. For example
// RASPI example (only for testing)
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;
/ {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2835", "brcm,bcm2708", "brcm,bcm2709";
fragment@0 {
target-path = "/soc/i2s@7e203000";
__overlay__ {
#address-cells = <0x00000001>;
#size-cells = <0x00000001>;
test = "test";
timer = <&timer>;
};
};
__external_symbols__ {
timer = "/soc/timer@7e003000";
};
};
The "timer" symbol is not exported by the RASPI device tree, because it is
missing in the __symbols__ section of the device tree.
In case of the RASPI device tree this could be simple fixed by modifing
the device tree source, but when the device tree is provided by a closed
source BIOS this kind of missing symbol could not be fixed.
An additional benefit is to override a (possible broken) symbol exported
by the currect live device tree.
The patch is based and tested on linux 4.12-rc3.
