mario.six@gdsys.cc 301ea68621 dm: Add callback to modify the device tree
Certain boards come in different variations by way of utilizing daughter
boards, for example. These boards might contain additional chips, which
are added to the main board's busses, e.g. I2C.

The device tree support for such boards would either, quite naturally,
employ the overlay mechanism to add such chips to the tree, or would use
one large default device tree, and delete the devices that are actually
not present.

Regardless of approach, even on the U-Boot level, a modification of the
device tree is a prerequisite to have such modular families of boards
supported properly.

Therefore, we add an option to make the U-Boot device tree (the actual
copy later used by the driver model) writeable, and add a callback
method that allows boards to modify the device tree at an early stage,
at which, hopefully, also the application of device tree overlays will
be possible.

bool "Run-time configuration via Device Tree"
help
This feature provides for run-time configuration of U-Boot
via a flattened device tree.
config OF_BOARD_FIXUP
bool "Board-specific manipulation of Device Tree"
help
In certain circumstances it is necessary to be able to modify
U-Boot's device tree (e.g. to delete device from it). This option
make the Device Tree writeable and provides a board-specific
"board_fix_fdt" callback (called during pre-relocation time), which
enables the board initialization to modifiy the Device Tree. The
modified copy is subsequently used by U-Boot after relocation.
config SPL_OF_CONTROL
bool "Enable run-time configuration via Device Tree in SPL"
depends on SPL && OF_CONTROL
help
Some boards use device tree in U-Boot but only have 4KB of SRAM
which is not enough to support device tree. Enable this option to
allow such boards to be supported by U-Boot SPL.

config OF_SEPARATE
bool "Separate DTB for DT control"
depends on !SANDBOX
help
If this option is enabled, the device tree will be built and
placed as a separate u-boot.dtb file alongside the U-Boot image.
config OF_EMBED
bool "Embedded DTB for DT control"
help
If this option is enabled, the device tree will be picked up and
built into the U-Boot image. This is suitable for local debugging
and development only and is not recommended for production devices.
Boards in the mainline U-Boot tree should not use it.
config OF_HOSTFILE
bool "Host filed DTB for DT control"
depends on SANDBOX
help
If this option is enabled, DTB will be read from a file on startup.
This is only useful for Sandbox. Use the -d flag to U-Boot to
specify the file to read.

config DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE
string "Default Device Tree for DT control"
help
This option specifies the default Device Tree used for DT control.
It can be overridden from the command line:
$ make DEVICE_TREE=<device-tree-name>

depends on SPL_OF_CONTROL

default "pinctrl-0 pinctrl-names clocks clock-names interrupt-parent"
help
Since SPL normally runs in a reduced memory space, the device tree
is cut down to only what is needed to load and start U-Boot. Only
nodes marked with the property "u-boot,dm-pre-reloc" will be
included. In addition, some properties are not used by U-Boot and
can be discarded. This option defines the list of properties to
discard.
