[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] OHW OF_setprop() zero-sized property

[Thayne Harbaugh <thayne@realmsys.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 350 bytes --]

The current implementation of OF_setprop() doesn't allow for value-less
or zero-sized properties to be set.  This breaks Linux 2.6 frame buffer
since arch/ppc/syslib/prom_init.c:check_display() marks displays with a
value-less property "linux,opened" and then
drivers/video/offb.c:offb_init() later finds these displays marked with
"linux,opened".
