Subject: [PATCH 1/2] metag: copy devicetree to non-init memory
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:52:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1361371929-28148-2-git-send-email-james.hogan@imgtec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1361371929-28148-1-git-send-email-james.hogan@imgtec.com>

Make a copy of the device tree blob in non-init memory. It is required
when using built-in device tree files that the platform code copies the
blob to non-init memory prior to calling unflatten_device_tree(),
otherwise the strings that the device tree refer to will get poisoned
and potentially reused, breaking later reading of the device tree
post-init (such as compatible matching in modules, debugfs, and the
procfs interface).
