- With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
- DTB) appended to raw vmlinuz.bin (with decompressor).
- (e.g. cat vmlinuz.bin <filename>.dtb > vmlinuz_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 vmlinuz.bin. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
- if you don't intend to always append a DTB.
