[PATCH] hw/ppc: Implement -dtb support for PowerNV


From: Aditya Gupta
Subject: [PATCH] hw/ppc: Implement -dtb support for PowerNV
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2024 01:40:39 +0530

Currently any device tree passed with -dtb option in QEMU, was ignored
by the PowerNV code.

Read and pass the passed -dtb to the kernel, thus enabling easier
debugging with custom DTBs.

The existing behaviour when -dtb is 'not' passed, is preserved as-is.

But when a '-dtb' is passed, it completely overrides any dtb nodes or
changes QEMU might have done, such as '-append' arguments to the kernel
(which are mentioned in /chosen/bootargs in the dtb), hence add warning
when -dtb is being used

Signed-off-by: Aditya Gupta <adityag@linux.ibm.com>

Changelog
===========
v1:
+ use 'g_file_get_contents' and add check for -append & -dtb as suggested by 
Daniel
