[PATCH V2 Create empty OF root 1/1] of: create empty of root

From: Lizhi Hou
Date: Wed Feb 16 2022 - 00:01:27 EST


Xilinx Alveo PCIe accelerator cards use flattened device tree to describe
describe apertures in its PCIe BARs. Each device tree node represents an
aperture and each aperture is an hardware unit which requires a driver.
The product detail:
https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/alveo.html

Thus a base device tree is required. Then the Alveo card driver can load
its flattened device tree and overlay it to the base tree. However device
tree does not always exist. To resolve this, add OF_EMPTY_ROOT config.
When it is selected and there is not a device tree, create an empty device
tree root node.
