[POWERPC] Minor fix for bootargs property
Avoid the use of an uninitialized stack variable when the powerpc device tree bootargs property is either missing or incorrectly defined. This also makes CONFIG_CMDLINE work properly under these conditions. This change adds a test for the existence of the bootargs property. early_init_dt_scan_chosen() tests for a zero length bootargs property in its CONFIG_CMDLINE processing, but the current implementation of of_get_flat_dt_prop() doesn't assign a value to the length when no property is found. Since an automatic variable is used, a stale value from the stack will be used in the test. Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
