From 362a1568670851cf25117d5660504dfb1d1b6331 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Lewis Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 21:04:35 +1000 Subject: arch/arm: Add support for loading Linux kernels Adds support for loading Linux kernels through FIT payloads. This has been implemented as an assembly function in order to simplify dealing with some of the intricacies of loading a kernel (such as needing to jump to the kernel in ARM mode and the kernel ABI). TEST: Booted a FIT image containing a 5.4 kernel and initramfs on the Beaglebone Black.
