Could you update your patch "powerpc/prom: Fix %llx usage since
prom_printf() change" to also do "powerpc/prom: Fix %u usage since
prom_printf() change"

I did not pay attention that "%u" was also not supported in prom_printf.

I may be able to provide a patch tonight, if this is not acceptable,
please revert my faulty patch. Sorry for the mess.
