+ bool "Use appended device tree blob to zImage (EXPERIMENTAL)"
+ depends on OF && !ZBOOT_ROM && EXPERIMENTAL
+ help
+ With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
+ (DTB) appended to zImage
+ (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
+
+ This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
+ systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
+ the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
+
+ Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
+ this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
+ look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
+ to zImage. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
+ if you don't intend to always append a DTB. Proper passing of the
+ location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
+ to this option.
