plat_fdt_relocated(9)

💫 plat_fdt_relocated(9) 💫

ok so bestie, welcome to the plat_fdt_relocated page from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, iykyk) — it's short, it's sweet, and it's literally the whole vibe. Let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

plat_fdt_relocated — update the platform's information about the relocated dtb

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void plat_fdt_relocated (void *new_location );

That's it. That's the whole signature. No extra params, no surprises, she's lowkey iconic for it 🦋

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• new_location — -- undescribed --

yeah bestie, that's genuinely all the manpage gives us 😭 the argument exists, she's there, she's a void *, and the docs said "not today." no cap, that's what's written, so that's what I'm telling you. 💀

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So. This function hands you a platform-independent API to set the platform's info about a relocated DTB — but only if that DTB actually needs to be moved, because of kernel relocation happening at boot.

Read that again, bestie: it's the "hey, the device tree blob moved, update your notes" function. The table of contents of the kernel's boot-time furniture changed, and this is how the platform finds out 💅

platform-independent is the main character energy here — same call, whatever platform you're on. slay.

⭐ little reminder: this is a kernel API page, so the details above are exactly what's documented — no invented tips, no "oh it probably also…" guesses. if it's not on this page, it's not on this page. periodt. 💖

and that's the page!! 🌈 brought to you by the fine folks at ./arch/mips/include/asm, dated October 2026 — so like, fresh off the press, literally. mwah 💋🫶
