Signed-off-by: Samuel Dionne-Riel <redacted> --- This issue was noticed while following the documentation when implementing initrd support in a platform-specific bootloader. It wouldn't work, even though the documentation was followed as written. One can verify that there are no references of prefix-less /chosen initrd-* properties in the whole codebase using these commands: $ grep -R 'initrd-\(start\|end\)' | grep -v 'linux,initrd-\(start\|end\)' Documentation/devicetree/usage-model.rst | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)

During early boot, the architecture setup code calls of_scan_flat_dt() several times with different helper callbacks to parse device tree
