Hey Tom
In arch/arm/dts/Makfile: line 56 "DTC_FLAGS += -R 4 -p 0x1000"
this tell the dtc tool to add a 4K padding to the device tree blob.
i can't figure out why this is needed. Its creating a 4KB penalty on the dtb file so i guess it has some justification.
Thanks

Hello
I was wondering why the default ARM device tree blob is padded by 4K bytes
Is this required to align to some storage medium ? Is there a configuration that allows to eliminate this padding to save space ?
Can you expand on what you're referring to / code in question? Thanks!
