Hi, This patch series simplifies and cleans up the handling of CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB in the MIPS tree. Specifically, it makes sure that the dtb appears in 'fw_passed_dtb' also under CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB=y. This allows to remove special platform code that handled the ELF appended dtb case, and replace it with the generic appended dtb case (fw_passed_dtb). There's also a bonus: platforms that already handle 'fw_passed_dtb', gain now automatic support for detecting a DT blob under CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB=y. Patches: - Patch 1 adds only comments (to make the file more readable for patch 2). - Patch 2 fixes 'fw_passed_dtb' under CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB=y. - Patch 3 simplifies CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB handling on the BMIPS platform. - Patch 4 simplifies CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB handling on the Octeon platform. Patches 3 and 4 depend on patch 2. The patches are on top of v4.18. The patches are also available at: https://github.com/yashac3/linux-rtl8186/commits/elf_appended_dtb_changes_on_4_18 Please review.
