-From: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>
-Subject: openwrt: arc - add OWRTDTB section
-
-This change allows OpenWRT to patch resulting kernel binary with
-external .dtb.
-
-That allows us to re-use exactky the same vmlinux on different boards
-given its ARC core configurations match (at least cache line sizes etc).
-
-""patch-dtb" searches for ASCII "OWRTDTB:" strign and copies external
-.dtb right after it, keeping the string in place.
