From: Tobias Wolf Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2016 10:40:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] of: Add check to of_scan_flat_dt() before accessing initial_boot_params An empty __dtb_start to __dtb_end section might result in initial_boot_params being null for arch/mips/ralink. This showed that the boot process hangs indefinitely in of_scan_flat_dt().
