Subject: [PATCH 5.10 508/663] Revert "MIPS: Octeon: Remove special handling of CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB=y"

From: Kevin Hao <haokexin@...il.com>

commit fe82de91af83a9212b6c704b1ce6cf6d129a108b upstream.

This reverts commit d9df9fb901d25b941ab2cfb5b570d91fb2abf7a3.

For the OCTEON boards, it need to patch the built-in DTB before using
it. Previously it judges if it is a built-in DTB by checking
fw_passed_dtb. But after commit 37e5c69ffd41 ("MIPS: head.S: Init
fw_passed_dtb to builtin DTB", the fw_passed_dtb is initialized even
when using built-in DTB. This causes the OCTEON boards boot broken due
to an unpatched built-in DTB is used. Revert the commit d9df9fb901d2 to
restore the codes before the fw_passed_dtb is used and then fix this
issue.

Fixed: 37e5c69ffd41 ("MIPS: head.S: Init fw_passed_dtb to builtin DTB")
