Kernel 4.7 doesn't boot with the commit "powerpc-4.7-1" on the Nemo board

Hi All,

We have a patch where is the problematic code.

One question. Which file is responsible for starting the kernel in this patch? Maybe more than one file. We know that the kernel doesn't start. It must be a source code for the early startup.

I was able to compile the RC4 without the three PowerPC commits and it boots and works.

Please find attached our patch. Please note: We are working for the Linux support for the Nemo board. We are not developers. We are trying to solve issues with the kernel. We didn't create the Nemo patch. We modified it a little bit.

Thanks,

Christian

@Darren: Have you already found the problematic code? I think the PowerPC
developers can't help us.

Funny you should ask... I've just been giving a new patch a quick test -
succesfully.

I did a manual revert on commit: d6a9996e84ac4beb7713e9485f4563e100a9b03e
against 4.7-rc3 (patch attached)

I'm still very much at a loss as to why this patch breaks booting on our
system, but it definately does.

I will try removing parts of it to see which bit causes the problem.

Regards
Darren

P.S. The patch is pulled from my Git tree and hasn't been directly tested.
