- From: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>
- Subject: openwrt: arc - add OWRTDTB section
- This change allows OpenWRT to patch resulting kernel binary with
- external .dtb.
- That allows us to re-use exactky the same vmlinux on different boards
- given its ARC core configurations match (at least cache line sizes etc).
- ""patch-dtb" searches for ASCII "OWRTDTB:" strign and copies external
- .dtb right after it, keeping the string in place.
