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 with of_fdt_unflatten().

Hi Clement,

I said that I would send a patch to do this, but have failed to follow
through.  Sorry about that.

This approach is adding an additional method of unflattening the tree.
I would prefer to consolidate in a single location.

I have leveraged this patch series into a different patch series to
accomplish that.  I have boot tested with one configuration, but want
to test two more configurations before sending the new series.  It
should only take "a few minutes".

"a few minutes" is taking longer than expected.  One of the devicetree
interrupt unittests is not giving the expected result for one of the
configurations I am checking.

The test is ok.  The problem was unrelated asynchronous output to the
console intermingled with test output.

My suggested alternative patch series is at:

Hi Frank, no worries, I just needed this topic to move forward, that's
why I decided to sent this .
