* tests: Introduce DT overlay testsMaxime Ripard2016-08-20-49/+262
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a bunch of unit tests for the "fdt apply" command. They've all been run successfully in the sandbox. However, as you still require an out-of-tree dtc with overlay support, this is disabled by default.

* cmd: fdt: add fdt overlay application subcommandMaxime Ripard2016-08-20-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The device tree overlays are a good way to deal with user-modifyable boards or boards with some kind of an expansion mechanism where we can easily plug new board in (like the BBB or the raspberry pi). However, so far, the usual mechanism to deal with it was to have in Linux some driver detecting the expansion boards plugged in and then request these overlays using the firmware interface. That works in most cases, but in some cases, you might want to have the overlays applied before the userspace comes in. Either because the new board requires some kind of an early initialization, or because your root filesystem is accessed through that expansion board. The easiest solution in such a case is to simply have the component before Linux applying that overlay, removing all these drawbacks.

* libfdt: Add overlay application functionMaxime Ripard2016-08-20-0/+405
The device tree overlays are a good way to deal with user-modifyable boards or boards with some kind of an expansion mechanism where we can easily plug new board in (like the BBB, the Raspberry Pi or the CHIP). Add a new function to merge overlays with a base device tree. Signed-off-by: Maxime Ripard <maxime.ripard@free-electrons.com>
