  4. Subject: [PATCH 2/2] openwrt: arc - add OWRTDTB section
  5. This change allows OpenWRT to patch resulting kernel binary with
  6. external .dtb.
  7. That allows us to re-use exactky the same vmlinux on different boards
  8. given its ARC core configurations match (at least cache line sizes etc).
  9. ""patch-dtb" searches for ASCII "OWRTDTB:" strign and copies external
  10. .dtb right after it, keeping the string in place.
