This overhead includes libfdt code as well as the + device tree contents itself. The latter is fairly compact, but the + former can add 3KB or more to a Thumb 2 Image. + + This option enables generation of platform data from the device + tree as C code. This code creates devices using U_BOOT_DEVICE() + declarations. The benefit is that it allows driver code to access + the platform data directly in C structures, avoidin the libfdt + overhead. + + This option works by generating C structure declarations for each + compatible string, then adding platform data and U_BOOT_DEVICE + declarations for each node.
