1800 depends on OF && !ZBOOT_ROM && EXPERIMENTAL
1801 help
1802 With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
1803 (DTB) appended to zImage
1804 (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
1805
1806 This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
1807 systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
1808 the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
1809
1810 Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
1811 this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
1812 look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
1813 to zImage. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
1814 if you don't intend to always append a DTB. Proper passing of the
1815 location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
1816 to this option.

1819 bool "Supplement the appended DTB with traditional ATAG information"
1820 depends on ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1821 help
1822 Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a DTB capable one, yet
1823 they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
1824 the kernel cmdline string, etc. Such information is dynamically
1825 provided by the bootloader and can't always be stored in a static
1826 DTB. To allow a device tree enabled kernel to be used with such
1827 bootloaders, this option allows zImage to extract the information
1828 from the ATAG list and store it at run time into the appended DTB.
