If I replace the blog below with

 a = <1>;
 b = <2>;
 c = <3>;
 d = <4>;

Resulting kernel boots. Replacing it with

 a-really-long-attribute-name-hopefully-this-breaks-stuff = <1>;
 b = <2>;
 c = <3>;
 d = <4>;

Breaks the boot. I'm using dtb append option. Any ideas? Nonbooting
dtb is 68910 bytes.

pavel@amd:/data/l/linux-n900$ ls -al arch/arm/boot/dts/omap3-n900.dtb 
-rw-r--r-- 1 pavel pavel 68910 Nov 10 13:52 arch/arm/boot/dts/omap3-n900.dtb

I removed some "smsc,lan91c94" settings, and it boots again. Weird.
