CONFIG_EXTERNAL_DTS_FRAGMENTS can't be used with the EFI payload, because
it has no internal DT at build-time and until recently not even a DT at
runtime.
This series adds the necessary bits to have this work the same on
non-EFI-payload platforms.
Changes in v2:
- "efi: payload: ignore ESP state.dtb if device tree is populated":
check before touching the ESP and only warn if state.dtb actually
exists, so a built-in state no longer logs a missing file (Fabian)
- "kbuild: dtc: introduce empty fallback device tree": build
fallback.dtb on ARM and RISC-V only with CONFIG_EFI_PAYLOAD, so a
fragment referencing board labels no longer breaks other builds (Anis)
- "efi: payload: export device tree in barebox-dtb EFI variable": delete
any existing barebox-dtb variable first, as SetVariable() won't change
attributes and a non-volatile variable created via efivarfs would
otherwise survive and be read instead of the exported device tree
- "Documentation: efi: describe device tree handling": refer to the
"Load options" section that the series this one applies on adds
- Rebase onto the load options series instead of next
- Link to v1: https://lore.barebox.org/barebox/20260826121640.2936023-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de/
