The libfdt read/write functions are now usable enough that it's become a moderately common pattern to use them to build and manipulate a device tree from scratch. For example, we do so ourself in our rw_tree1 testcase, and qemu is starting to use this model when building device trees for some targets such as e500. However, the read/write functions require some sort of valid tree to begin with, so this necessitates either having a trivial canned dtb to begin with or, more commonly, creating an empty tree using the serial-write functions first. This patch adds a helper function which uses the serial-write functions to create a trivial, empty but complete and valid tree in a supplied buffer, ready for manipulation with the read/write functions.

The libfdt functionality was written by David Gibson. The original source came from the git repository: URL: git://ozlabs.org/home/dgibson/git/libfdt.git author David Gibson <dgibson@sneetch.(none)> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 04:16:54 +0000 (15:16 +1100) committer David Gibson <dgibson@sneetch.(none)> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 04:16:54 +0000 (15:16 +1100) commit 857f54e79f74429af20c2b5ecc00ee98af6a3b8b tree 2f648f0f88225a51ded452968d28b4402df8ade0 parent 07a12a08005f3b5cd9337900a6551e450c07b515 To adapt for u-boot usage, only the applicable files were copied and imported into the u-boot git repository. Omitted: * GPL - u-boot comes with a copy of the GPL license * test subdirectory - not directly useful for u-boot After importing, other customizations were performed. See the git log for details.
