[PATCH 2/5] of/fdt: add kernel command line option for dtb_compat string

[dirk . brandewie]

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@xxxxxxxxx>

Adds a kernel command line option "dtb_compat=<string>" and functions
for architecture/platform specific code to retrieve the command line
string and locate the compatible DTB linked into the kernel

of_flat_dt_get_dtb_compatible_string() returns a pointer string passed
from the command line or a pointer to an empty string.

of_flat_dt_find_compatible_dtb() returns a pointer to a DTB that is
compatible with the "compatible" string or a NULL pointer if no
matching DTB is present.

Signed-off-by: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@xxxxxxxxx>
