[Qemu-devel] [PULL 21/22] hw/arm/boot: Support DTB autoload for firmware-only boots

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

The arm_boot_info struct has a skip_dtb_autoload flag: if this is
set to true by the board code then arm_load_kernel() will not
load the DTB itself, but will leave this for the board code to
do itself later. However, the check for this is done in a
code path which is only executed for the case where we load
a kernel image file. If we're taking the "boot via firmware"
code path then the flag isn't honoured and the DTB is never
loaded.

We didn't notice this because the only real user of "boot
via firmware" that cares about the DTB is the virt board
(for UEFI boot), and that always wants skip_dtb_autoload
anyway. But the SBSA reference board model we're planning to
add will want the flag to behave correctly.

Now we've refactored the arm_load_kernel() function, the
fix is simple: drop the early 'return' so we fall into
the same "load the DTB" code the boot-direct-kernel path uses.
