+config SPL_OF_PLATDATA
+ bool "Generate platform data for use in SPL"
+ depends on SPL_OF_CONTROL
+ help
+ For very constrained SPL environments the overhead of decoding
+ device tree nodes and converting their contents into platform data
+ is too large. 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. See README.platdata for more
+ information.
