+Subject: [PATCH] arm: compressed: add appended DTB section
+
+This adds a appended_dtb section to the ARM decompressor
+linker script.
+
+This allows using the existing ARM zImage appended DTB support for
+appending a DTB to the raw ELF kernel.
+
+Its size is set to 1MB max to match the zImage appended DTB size limit.
+
+To use it to pass the DTB to the kernel, objcopy is used:
+
+objcopy --set-section-flags=.appended_dtb=alloc,contents \
+       --update-section=.appended_dtb=<target>.dtb vmlinux
+
+This is based off the following patch:
