Hi Frank,

This function is only defined when CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE is enabled.
Which means that on platforms that do not select this, the default
empty device-tree creation will not be done.

This configuration option is selected by the platform and not by the
user. On x86, only one config enables this (X86_INTEL_CE) which means
this won't work on all the other platforms even if CONFIG_OF is
selected. I would need this to work by only selected CONFIG_OF.
That's why I decided to add the of_root creation in of_core_init()
using a function (of_fdt_unflatten()) that is provided if CONFIG_OF is
defined.

Shouldn't this be setup_of(void) ?
