Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the devicetree tree

Hi Grant,

After merging the devicetree tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

drivers/of/base.c: In function 'of_update_property':
drivers/of/base.c:1906:10: error: 'found' undeclared (first use in this function)
   return found ? 0 : -ENODEV;
          ^

Caused by a bad automatic merge resolution between commits 582da6527da3
("of: make of_update_property() usable earlier in the boot process")
(merged into Linus' tree between v3.15-rc4 and rc5) and 947fdaad0627
("of: fix race between search and remove in of_update_property()") from
the devicetree tree.

I have added the following merge fix patch:
