While I realise your patch is just moving stuff around,
can this be fixed please?  A missing "#address-cells"
property means "two cells", not "inherit from parent".
The few platforms with a broken tree should just be
fixed (patch the tree in the bootwrapper, or perhaps
_do_ use this workaround, but only on the affected
platforms).

If you can get me access to all of the old PowerMac or CHRP crap with
broken device-tree's ...

No I can't, which is exactly why I cannot fix it myself.

Note that I don't think there's much cases of such breakage on the
field,

For PowerPC it is mostly the G3 PowerMacs I believe.

The SPARC tree carries the same broken code -- is
this just a case of code copying, or are there
actual SPARC machines with such broken trees?

but I'd be annoyed to change a behaviour we had from day 1.

Yes exactly -- we shouldn't just completely break
the kernel working on those machines.  Of course,
if no tester can be found, perhaps support for
those boxes should just be abandoned.
