[POWERPC] Cleanup zImage handling of kernel entry with flat device tree
This makes 2 changes to clean up the flat device tree handling
logic in the zImage wrapper.
First, there were two callbacks from the dt_ops structure used for
producing a final flat tree to pass to the kerne: dt_ops.ft_pack()
which packed the flat tree (possibly a no-op) and dt_ops.ft_addr()
which retreived the address of the final blob. Since they were only
ever called together, this patch combines the two into a single new
callback, dt_ops.finalize(). This new callback does whatever
platform-dependent things are necessary to produce a final flat device
tree blob, and returns the blob's addres.
Second, the current logic calls the kernel with a flat device tree if
one is build into the zImage wrapper, otherwise it boots the kernel
with a PROM pointer, expecting the kernel to copy the OF device tree
itself. This approach precludes the possibility of the platform
wrapper code building a flat device tree from whatever
platform-specific information firmware provides. Thus, this patch
takes the more sensible approach of invoking the kernel with a flat
tree if the dt_ops.finalize callback provides one (by whatever means).
So, the dt_ops.finalize callback can be NULL, or can be a function
which returns NULL. In either case, the zImage wrapper logic assumes
that this is a platform with OF and invokes the kernel accordingly.
