Subject: [137/272] atyfb: Fix bootup hangs on sparc64.

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

[ Upstream commit 09798eb9479da3413bdf96e7d22a84d8b21e05e1 ]

After commit 25edd6946a1d74e5e77813c2324a0908c68bcf9e ("sparc64: Get
rid of indirect p1275 PROM call buffer.")  we can't pass virtual
addresses >4GB to PROM calls.

Largely this is never necessary in drivers because we have a copy of
the entire PROM device tree in the kernel and a set of of_*()
interfaces to access it.

Unfortunately there were some lingering prom calls in the atyfb
driver, in particular prom_finddevice() was being called with an
on-stack address which could be anywhere.

This code is actually probing for information we already have, the
PROM choosen console output device is stored in of_console_device so
all of this nasty code consolidates into a one-line comparison.

Next we have some prom_getintdefault() calls which are trivially
transformed into the equivalent of_getintprop_default().

Special thanks to Fabio, who figured out exactly where the bootup
was hanging.  That made this bug trivial to fix.
