# Patch author: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
# Description: Fix oldworld initrd loading problems.
# It looks like older OF "setprop" is bogus and isn't actually copying the
# data but just taking a pointer. The LongTrail workaround also has that
# problem as "property" will not copy the data. This fixes the workaround
# and applies it to Apple OF 1.0.5.
# Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
# Closes:
# 375035: Kernel 2.6.16 attempts to access root device before running initramfs init
# 366620: initramfs-tools: 2.6.16-1-powerpc fails to mount rootfs, 2.6.15-1-powerpc works
#
