No matching open-pic node

kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/corenet_generic.c:50!
So, in __of_device_is_compatible(), the difference is in
__of_device_is_compatible() after
/* Matching type is better than matching name */
Further debugging shows that device->type is NULL in the bad case.

Do you need more information ?
I think I know what part of my patch is causing the problem.
Can you try the following patch to see if if fixes the failure in
__of_device_is_compatible()?
If this fixes the failure, then I know what is going on. If it works
then I will have to rework my original patch in a different way than
this quick hack.
