H A Dprom_init.cdiff 6c71cfcc01685ef495ca7886471a76e73446424e Fri Aug 21 12:34:07 CEST 2020 Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> powerpc/prom_init: Check display props exist before enabling btext

It's possible to enable CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_BOOTX for a pseries
kernel (maybe it shouldn't be), which is then booted with qemu/slof.

But if you do that the kernel crashes in draw_byte(), with a DAR
pointing somewhere near INT_MAX.

Adding some debug to prom_init we see that we're not able to read the
"address" property from OF, so we're just using whatever junk value
was on the stack.

So check the properties can be read properly from OF, if not we bail
out before initialising btext, which avoids the crash.
