commit: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=39925026f6857979cbe603efd42073eb63f8d9de
branch: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

With bash's read builtin it is possible to read from a file (e.g.
device-tree) until the first '\0' character:

IFS= read -r -d '' VARIABLE < file

In busybox ash the -d extension is also implemented, but checking the
read character for '\0' has to be performed after comparing with the
delimiter.
