Subject: [PATCH 01/12] boards: qemu-virt: reserve BIOS device tree
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:54:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260115115924.3428886-2-a.fatoum@barebox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260115115924.3428886-1-a.fatoum@barebox.org>

On the ARM Virt platform, QEMU places its device tree at the start of
RAM and doesn't provide a standard FW_CFG to access it.

To be able to keep reusing it when chainloading barebox in future and
passing it to the kernel, reserve this piece of memory.
