|
|
|
|
+ For very constrained SPL environments the overhead of decoding
|
|
|
|
+ device tree nodes and converting their contents into platform data
|
|
|
|
+ is too large. This overhead includes libfdt code as well as the
|
|
|
|
+ device tree contents itself. The latter is fairly compact, but the
|
|
|
|
+ former can add 3KB or more to a Thumb 2 Image.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ This option enables generation of platform data from the device
|
|
|
|
+ tree as C code. This code creates devices using U_BOOT_DEVICE()
|
|
|
|
+ declarations. The benefit is that it allows driver code to access
|
|
|
|
+ the platform data directly in C structures, avoidin the libfdt
|
|
|
|
+ overhead.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ This option works by generating C structure declarations for each
|
|
|
|
+ compatible string, then adding platform data and U_BOOT_DEVICE
|
|
|
|
+ declarations for each node. See README.platdata for more
|
|
|
|
+ information.
