Hello,

Our PASEMI Nemo board [1] doesn't boot with the PowerPC updates 6.4-1 [2].

The kernel hangs right after the booting Linux via __start() @
0x0000000000000000 ...

I was able to revert the PowerPC updates 6.4-1 [2] with the following
command: git revert 70cc1b5307e8ee3076fdf2ecbeb89eb973aa0ff7 -m 1

<snipped> ... 
Thanks for the report. To be sure the issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced e4ab08be5b4902e5

Why and how can you conclude that the culprit is e4ab08be5b4902 ("powerpc/isa-bridge:
Remove open coded "ranges" parsing") rather than powerpc PR merge commit
70cc1b5307e8ee ("Merge tag 'powerpc-6.4-1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux")? 

I looked at the thread and noticed it was mentioned later (
https://lore.kernel.org/all/3fa42c8c-09bd-d0f0-401b-315b484f4bb0@xenosoft.de/ (local)
).

Ciao, Thorsten
