Hi Rob,
I gave this branch a try on metag.
The following patches break the build:
e09b397e of: only include prom.h on sparc
740de19c of: remove empty arch prom.h headers
because metag's prom.h has a setup_machine_fdt function declaration
which is used in arch/metag/kernel/setup.c (and defined in
arch/metag/kernel/devtree.c). Please move that declaration elsewhere
(asm/setup.h would seem appropriate) if you're going to remove prom.h.
Also I appear to hit the BUG_ON at
drivers/of/fdt.c:511/of_get_flat_dt_root().
This is because on metag we try interpreting the command line argument
as a device tree and only use the built-in DT if that fails. Previously
we relied on the be32_to_cpu(devtree->magic) != OF_DT_HEADER check in
setup_machine_fdt. The following seems to fix it:
diff --git a/arch/metag/kernel/devtree.c b/arch/metag/kernel/devtree.c
index abe607e..550dd91 100644
--- a/arch/metag/kernel/devtree.c
+++ b/arch/metag/kernel/devtree.c
@@ -52,7 +52,10 @@ struct machine_desc * __init setup_machine_fdt(void *dt)
