[syslinux] [RFC 0/2] syslinux: Add device tree support

This patch series adds support for passing a Flattened Device Tree (FDT)
blob to the Linux kernel. Currently, only the linux.c32 module can do so
and some additional checking should be done to only pass the blob if the
kernel supports boot protocol 2.09 or later.

Hi there,

I just merged a modified/more generic version of your patch.  I would
appreciate it if you could test it and report back.

Tested latest master (59b77fc) and booted the system successfully. Can
this still make it into the 5.00 release? Any chance of getting this
directly supported by the ldlinux.sys?

It should be in linux.c32 in 4.06 and directly supported in 5.00.
