From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt 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.
