Subject: MIPS: zboot: put appended dtb into a section
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d2e850e961835825492f37346ae76670bf4758f5;p=linux.git

MIPS: zboot: put appended dtb into a section

This will make a separated section for dtb appear in ELF, and we can
then use objcopy to patch a dtb into vmlinuz when RAW_APPENDED_DTB
is set in kernel config.

command to patch a dtb:
objcopy --set-section-flags=.appended_dtb=alloc,contents \
        --update-section=.appended_dtb=<target>.dtb vmlinuz
