[PATCH 3.10 19/45] of/base: Fix PowerPC address parsing hack

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 05 2014 - 18:14:16 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 746c9e9f92dde2789908e51a354ba90a1962a2eb upstream.

We have a historical hack that treats missing ranges properties as the
equivalent of an empty one. This is needed for ancient PowerMac "bad"
device-trees, and shouldn't be enabled for any other PowerPC platform,
otherwise we get some nasty layout of devices in sysfs or even
duplication when a set of otherwise identically named devices is
created multiple times under a different parent node with no ranges
property.

This fix is needed for the PowerNV i2c busses to be exposed properly
and will fix a number of other embedded cases.
