The result is then passed to prom_getprop(), which could be PROM_ERROR. Add a return check to prevent this. This was found on a pasemi system, where CFE doesn't have a working 'instance-to package' prom call. Before Commit 5c0484e25ec0 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') the area around addr 0 was mostly 0's and this doesn't cause a problem. Once the macro 'FIXUP_ENDIAN' has been added to head_64.S, the low memory area now has non-zero values, which cause the prom_getprop() call to hang. mpe: Also confirmed that under SLOF if 'instance-to-package' did fail with PROM_ERROR we would crash in SLOF. So the bug is not specific to CFE, it's just that other open firmwares don't trigger it because they have a working 'instance-to-package'.
