Subject: [PATCH] PPC: Skip over OF_DT_NOP when unflattening the device tree

From: Jason Gunthorpe <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2010 12:30:21 -0700

NOPs within the property section are skipped, but NOPs between
OF_DT_END_NODE and OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE were not. My firmware NOPs out
entire nodes depending on various environment parameters.

of_scan_flat_dt already handles NOP more generally..
