kexec/dt-ops.c: Fix check against 'fdt_add_subnode' return value
Vicenç reported (via [1]) that currently executing kexec with '--dtb' option and passing a .dtb which doesn't have a '/chosen' node leads to the following error: # kexec -d --dtb dtb_without_chosen_node.dtb --append 'cmdline' --load Image dtb_set_property: fdt_add_subnode failed: <valid offset/length> kexec: Set device tree bootargs failed. This happens because currently we check the return value of 'fdt_add_subnode()' function call in 'dt-ops.c' incorrectly: result = fdt_add_subnode(new_dtb, nodeoffset, node); if (result) { dbgprintf("%s: fdt_add_subnode failed: %s\n", _func__, fdt_strerror(result)); goto on_error; } As we can see in 'fdt_rw.c', a positive return value from 'fdt_add_subnode()' function doesn't indicate an error. We can see that the Linux kernel (see 'drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/fdt.c' for example) also checks the 'fdt_add_subnode()' function against negative return values for errors. See an example below from 'update_fdt()' function in 'drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/fdt.c': node = fdt_add_subnode(fdt, 0, "chosen"); if (node < 0) { status = node; <..snip..> goto fdt_set_fail; } This patch fixes the same in 'kexec-tools'.
