Currently in order to link existing DTB into Xen image
we need to either specify option CONFIG_DTB_FILE on the
command line or manually add it into .config.
Add Kconfig entry: CONFIG_DTB_FILE to be able to
provide the path to DTB we want to embed into Xen image.
If no path provided - the dtb will not be embedded.
Remove the line: AFLAGS-y += -DCONFIG_DTB_FILE=\"$(CONFIG_DTB_FILE)\"
as it is not needed since Kconfig will define it in a header
with all the other config options.

Nit: Linux, iirc, has dropped support for ---help--- (allowing only help now). To limit churn whenever we're going to re-sync our kconfig again, I'd like to avoid introduction of new uses of the old form. I'm sure this could be taken care of while committing. Jan

With this approach, CONFIG_DTB_FILE will always be defined. This means that Xen will always be compiled to use the "embedded" DTB. When the string is "", it will be garbagge. So I think we need a second config to that indicates whether the string is empty or not. Interestingly, your first version of patch didn't expose the problem because CONFIG_DTB_FILE would not be defined if the CONFIG_LINK_DTB is not selected. Although, it would still happily build if CONFIG_DTB_FILE is "". Cheers, -- Julien Grall

If string is empty - the dtb.o will not be created and there will be no dtb section in xen binary. The dtb.o will be compiled and embedded into Xen if and only if the path to dtb was given.

I count three uses of CONFIG_DTB_VALID outside of make files. The ones in .S can be replaced by using assembler directives .ifeqs / .ifneqs. And the one in xen.lds.S looks to be unnecessary altogether: If there's no input .dtb section, the linker wouldn't allocate an output one anyway. And the _sdtb symbol, if you want to avoid its creation when there's no reference, could be wrapped in PROVIDE(). (I also think that symbol should be defined inside the section definition, not ahead of it.) Jan
