Hi, This patchset makes necessary changes to the kernel to add support for building overlays (%.dtbo) and the required fdtoverlay tool. This also builds static_test.dtb using most of the existing overlay tests present in drivers/of/unittest-data/ for better test coverage. Note that in order for anyone to test this stuff, you need to manually run the ./update-dtc-source.sh script once to fetch the necessary changes from the external DTC project (i.e. fdtoverlay.c and this[1] patch). I have tested this patchset for static and runtime testing (on Hikey board) and no issues were reported. V7: - Add a comment in scripts/dtc/Makefile - Add Ack from Masahiro for patch 4/6. - Drop word "merge" from commit log of 2/6. - Split apply_static_overlay, static_test.dtb, and static_base.dts into two parts to handle overlay_base.dts and testcases.dts separately. V6: - Create separate rules for dtbo-s and separate entries in .gitignore in 4/6 (Masahiro). - A new file layout for handling all overlays for existing and new tests 5/6 (Frank). - Include overlay.dts as well now in 6/6 (Frank). V5: - Don't reuse DTC_SOURCE for fdtoverlay.c in patch 1/5 (Frank). - Update .gitignore and scripts/Makefile.dtbinst, drop dtbo-y syntax and DTC_FLAGS += -@ in patch 4/5 (Masahiro). - Remove the intermediate dtb, rename output to static_test.dtb, don't use overlay.dtb and overlay_base.dtb for static builds, improved layout/comments in Makefile for patch 5/5 (Frank). -- Viresh [1] https://github.com/dgibson/dtc/commit/163f0469bf2ed8b2fe5aa15bc796b93c70243ddc [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/74f8aa8f-ffab-3b0f-186f-31fb7395ebbb@xxxxxxxxx/ Viresh Kumar (6): scripts: dtc: Fetch fdtoverlay.c from external DTC project scripts: dtc: Build fdtoverlay tool scripts: dtc: Remove the unused fdtdump.c file kbuild: Add support to build overlays (%.dtbo) of: unittest: Create overlay_common.dtsi and testcases_common.dtsi of: unittest: Statically apply overlays using fdtoverlay .gitignore | 1 + Makefile | 5 +- drivers/of/unittest-data/Makefile | 56 ++++++ drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_base.dts | 90 +--------- drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_common.dtsi | 91 ++++++++++ drivers/of/unittest-data/static_base_1.dts | 4 + drivers/of/unittest-data/static_base_2.dts | 4 + drivers/of/unittest-data/testcases.dts | 18 +- .../of/unittest-data/testcases_common.dtsi | 19 ++ .../of/unittest-data/tests-interrupts.dtsi | 7 - scripts/Makefile.dtbinst | 3 + scripts/Makefile.lib | 5 + scripts/dtc/Makefile | 8 +- scripts/dtc/fdtdump.c | 163 ------------------ scripts/dtc/update-dtc-source.sh | 3 +- 15 files changed, 204 insertions(+), 273 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_common.dtsi create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/static_base_1.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/static_base_2.dts create mode 100644 drivers/of/unittest-data/testcases_common.dtsi delete mode 100644 scripts/dtc/fdtdump.c base-commit: 6ee1d745b7c9fd573fba142a2efdad76a9f1cb04 -- 2.25.0.rc1.19.g042ed3e048af
