[PATCH] ppc32/ppc64: cleanup /proc/device-tree
This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64. It does the following things:
- Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
exist with the same name as a child node of the parent. We now
simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
/proc with random result...
- Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
buggy and didn't always work anyway.
- Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
dentry and inode cache bloat.
This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.
