When enabling CONFIG_OF on a platform where 'of_root' is not populated by firmware, we end up without a root node. In order to apply overlays and create subnodes of the root node, we need one. Create this root node by unflattening an empty builtin dtb. If firmware provides a flattened device tree (FDT) then the FDT is unflattened via setup_arch(). Otherwise, the call to unflatten(_and_copy)?_device_tree() will create an empty root node. We make of_have_populated_dt() return true only if the DTB was loaded by firmware so that existing callers don't change behavior after this patch. The call in the of platform code is removed because it prevents overlays from creating platform devices when the empty root node is used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
