The following series support for device tree binary blobs (dtb) that are
appended to the compressed kernel image (zImage).

Having appended dtb data is not required to boot with a device tree. If no dtb
data is appended to zImage, the kernel will boot using prior methods.

John Bonesio (4):
      ARM:boot:device tree: Allow the device tree binary to be appended to zImage
      ARM:boot:device tree: Merge specific atags into the device tree
      ARM:boot:device tree: Add puthex routine for use in the boot wrapper
      ARM:boot:device tree: Allow multiple device trees to be appended to zImage
