Arm linux supports zImage with appended dtb (CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB) and
the concatenated image is generated like `cat zImage dtb > zImage_w_dtb`.
This patch is to support the concatednated zImage. This changes the
priority of sources for dtb.
1. --dtb dtb_file
2. zImage_with_dtb <= newly added
3. /sys/firmware/fdt
4. /proc/device-tree
The dtb content in the concatenated zImage has priority over the other fdt
sources like /sys/firmware/fdt or /proc/device-tree. It's because the same
reason that --dtb command line option has the most priority for fdt source.
Users have some cases when they'd like to use different dtb from running
system.
Users don't need to specify dtb file separately in the command line (--dtb)
and don't have to have /sys/firmware/fdt or /proc/device-tree if dtb is
available in zImage.
We can do
- `kexec --load-panic zImage_with_different_dtb_from_running_system`
rather than
- `kexec --load-panic zImage --dtb different_dtb_from_running_system`
