openpromfs 2.6.18-rc6

[Daniel Smolik]

Hi,

I want change my input-device from keyboard to rsc and I get invalid argument.

echo 'rsc' > /proc/openprom/options/input-device. eeprom ends with SIGBUS.
Under 2.6.17.2 openpromfs works well.

Intentional added limiation to openpromfs, it is very difficult
to add property writing support in the new OBP device tree code
in the kernel.

It works just fine when using /dev/openprom, so please convert
whatever you're trying to accomplish to use that for property
modification for now.

I have no plans to add back property writing support to openpromfs
for 2.6.18, I simply lack the time to do it.  However I'll probably
be able to do it for 2.6.19.
