[patch 052/198] ppc64: remove bogus f50 hack in prom.c

From: akpm
Date: Tue Apr 12 2005 - 15:05:13 EST



From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The code that parses the OF device tree contains an old bogus hack which
was killed a long time ago on ppc32, but survived in ppc64. It was
supposed to help with a problem on the f50 which is ... a 32 bits machine
:) Additionally, that hack is causing problems, so let's just get rid of
it.
