From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@xxxxxxxxx> This patch set adds the ability to link device tree blob(s) directly into the vmlinux image and specify the blob to be used via a kernel command line option. Patch 1 implements the changes to include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, add generic rules for building and linking the DTB's into vmlinux. Patch 2 adds the command line option, the functions for the platform code to retrieve the value passed in and locate the matching blob in the image. This patch has been tested on x86. Patch 3-5 show using the generic dts->dtb rule in x86, microblaze and powerpc. The microblaze and powerpc patches have only been compile tested.
