Subject: Crash in -next due to 'drivers/of: Fix depth when unflattening
 devicetree'

Hi,

some of my ppc qemu tests crash with the following log message.

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
0100            4096 ram0  (driver?)

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

A complete boot log is available at
http://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-ppc-next/builds/408/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio

Bisect points to commit 'drivers/of: Fix depth when unflattening devicetree'.
Reverting this commit fixes the problem. Bisect log is attached.

The scripts and root file system used for the test are available at
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/ppc

Failing tests are 

powerpc:mac99:nosmp:ppc_book3s_defconfig
powerpc:g3beige:nosmp:ppc_book3s_defconfig
powerpc:mac99:smp:ppc_book3s_defconfig
