This makes 2 changes to clean up the flat device tree handling logic in the zImage wrapper. First, there were two callbacks from the dt_ops structure used for producing a final flat tree to pass to the kerne: dt_ops.ft_pack() which packed the flat tree (possibly a no-op) and dt_ops.ft_addr() which retreived the address of the final blob. Since they were only ever called together, this patch combines the two into a single new callback, dt_ops.finalize(). This new callback does whatever platform-dependent things are necessary to produce a final flat device tree blob, and returns the blob's addres. Second, the current logic calls the kernel with a flat device tree if one is build into the zImage wrapper, otherwise it boots the kernel with a PROM pointer, expecting the kernel to copy the OF device tree itself. This approach precludes the possibility of the platform wrapper code building a flat device tree from whatever platform-specific information firmware provides. Thus, this patch takes the more sensible approach of invoking the kernel with a flat tree if the dt_ops.finalize callback provides one (by whatever means). So, the dt_ops.finalize callback can be NULL, or can be a function which returns NULL. In either case, the zImage wrapper logic assumes that this is a platform with OF and invokes the kernel accordingly.
