UPSTREAM: efi: efi-stub: notify on DTB absence
In the absence of a DTB configuration table, the EFI stub will happily continue attempting to boot a kernel, despite the fact that this kernel may not function without a description of the hardware. In this case, as with a typo'd "dtb=" option (e.g. "dbt=") or many other possible failures, the only output seen by the user will be the rather terse output from the EFI stub: EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel... To aid those attempting to debug such failures, this patch adds a notice when no DTB is found, making the output more helpful: EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel... EFI stub: Generating empty DTB Additionally, a positive acknowledgement is added when a user-specified DTB is in use: EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel... EFI stub: Using DTB from command line Similarly, a positive acknowledgement is added when a DTB from a configuration table is in use: EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel... EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table Signed-off-by:Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by:
