SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +DeviceTree Booting +------------------ + + Device-tree compatible SH bootloaders are expected to provide the physical + address of the device tree blob in r4. Since legacy bootloaders did not + guarantee any particular initial register state, kernels built to + inter-operate with old bootloaders must either use a builtin DTB or + select a legacy board option (something other than CONFIG_SH_DEVICE_TREE) + that does not use device tree. Support for the latter is being phased out + in favor of device tree. |
