Subject: [PATCH 4.9 094/119] powerpc/hotplug-mem: Fix missing endian conversion of aa_index

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Bringmann <mwb@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit dc421b200f91930c9c6a9586810ff8c232cf10fc upstream.

When adding or removing memory, the aa_index (affinity value) for the
memblock must also be converted to match the endianness of the rest
of the 'ibm,dynamic-memory' property.  Otherwise, subsequent retrieval
of the attribute will likely lead to non-existent nodes, followed by
using the default node in the code inappropriately.
