[PATCH] of: fix phandle cache creation for DTs with no phandles

From: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>
Date: 2018-09-11 14:56:12

With commit 0b3ce78e90fc ("of: cache phandle nodes to reduce cost of
of_find_node_by_phandle()"), a G3 PowerMac fails to boot. The root cause
is the DT for this system has no phandle properties when booted with
BootX. of_populate_phandle_cache() does not handle the case of no
phandles correctly. The problem is roundup_pow_of_two() for 0 is
undefined. The implementation subtracts 1 underflowing and then things
are in the weeds.

Here's a formal patch of what Stan tested. Will send to Linus this week.
