Anyway, if it gets that complicated, I think we should stick with
just returning OF_BAD_ADDR. The above really suggests the need for
an architecture specific solution.

Probably no harm in this really: the far more common
of_address_to_resource() and of_iomap() helpers are equally
broken on SPARC and we just return a runtime error for those
as well without CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS rather than breaking the build.

Agreed. Given this, returning OF_BAD_ADDR sounds like a better choice.

Arnd,

do you know if a fix for this problem is pending in some branch ?
Mainline sparc builds are now affected.

I don't think anyone wrote the patch to do this. Can you send one?
