Subject[PATCH v1 1/2] of: base: populate of_root node if not set
Date
When enabling CONFIG_OF on a platform where of_root is not populated by
firmware, we end up without a root node. In order to apply overlays and
create subnodes of the root node, we need one. Create this root node
by unflattening an empty builtin dtb with of_fdt_unflatten().
