Subject: [PATCH V6 0/6] dt: build overlays

Hi Frank/Rob,

This patchset makes necessary changes to the kernel to add support for
building overlays (%.dtbo) and the required fdtoverlay tool. This also
builds static_test.dtb using most of the existing overlay tests present
in drivers/of/unittest-data/ for better test coverage.

Note that in order for anyone to test this stuff, you need to manually
run the ./update-dtc-source.sh script once to fetch the necessary
changes from the external DTC project (i.e. fdtoverlay.c and this[1]
patch).

Also note that Frank has already shared his concerns towards the error
reporting done by fdtoverlay tool [2], and David said it is not that
straight forward to make such changes in fdtoverlay. I have still
included the patch in this series for completeness.

FWIW, with fdtoverlay we generate a new build warning now, not sure why
though:

drivers/of/unittest-data/tests-interrupts.dtsi:20.5-28: Warning (interrupts_property): /testcase-data/testcase-device2:#interrupt-cells: size is (4), expected multiple of 8

V6:
- Create separate rules for dtbo-s and separate entries in .gitignore in
4/6 (Masahiro).
- A new file layout for handling all overlays for existing and new tests
5/6 (Frank).
- Include overlay.dts as well now in 6/6 (Frank).

V5:

- Don't reuse DTC_SOURCE for fdtoverlay.c in patch 1/5 (Frank).

- Update .gitignore and scripts/Makefile.dtbinst, drop dtbo-y syntax and
DTC_FLAGS += -@ in patch 4/5 (Masahiro).

- Remove the intermediate dtb, rename output to static_test.dtb, don't
use overlay.dtb and overlay_base.dtb for static builds, improved
layout/comments in Makefile for patch 5/5 (Frank).

Subject: [PATCH V6 6/6] of: unittest: Statically apply overlays using fdtoverlay

Now that fdtoverlay is part of the kernel build, start using it to test
the unitest overlays we have by applying them statically. Create a new
base file static_base.dts which includes other .dtsi files.

Some unittest overlays deliberately contain errors that unittest checks
for. These overlays will cause fdtoverlay to fail, and are thus not
included in the static_test.dtb.

This was copied from external DTC repository long back and isn't used
anymore. Over that the dtc tool can be used to generate the dts source
back from the dtb. Remove the unused fdtdump.c file.

Subject: [PATCH V6 2/6] scripts: dtc: Build fdtoverlay tool

We will start building overlays for platforms soon in the kernel and
would need fdtoverlay going forward. Lets start building it.

The fdtoverlay program applies (or merges) one or more overlay dtb
blobs to a base dtb blob. The kernel build system would later use
fdtoverlay to generate the overlaid blobs based on platform specific
configurations.

Saying "merges" here is probably misleading, since as I mentioned
elsewhere fdtoverlay can *not* merge overlays, only apply them to a
base tree.

and of source the config line becomes static_test_1.dtb and static_test_2.dtb

Hopefully I haven't missed any other details...

I started to reply to this email with questions for David about how to
improve the fdtoverlay error reporting. But then decided that instead
of trying to paraphrase the comments in v4 of this patch series, it
would be more efficient to ask in the v4 thread. So my questions are
over there...

rename apply_static_overlay to apply_static_overlay_2:

apply_static_overlay_2 := overlay.dtb

Then the remainder of apply_static_overlay becomes apply_static_overlay_1:

apply_static_overlay_1 :=
