    generic: fix appended dtb support · 67eebf72
    Marcin Nowakowski authored
    
    Appended DTB support is mostly intended to be used on legacy systems,
    but it is a valid feature that can be enabled for generic platform,
    which currently doesn't support it - if selected, the appended DTB will
    be ignored by the platform startup code.
    
    During kernel startup, the appended DTB's location is stored in
    fw_passed_dtb if the init code finds what appears to be a valid DTB.
    Otherwise (if a0 == -2), a1 is stored in fw_passed_dtb, so either way it
    will always point to either a user-passed DTB or built-in DTB.
