[PATCH] of: unflatten_and_copy: handle NULL initial_boot_params

From: James Hogan
Date: Tue Nov 19 2013 - 07:59:28 EST


Check whether initial_boot_params is NULL before dereferencing it in
unflatten_and_copy_device_tree() for the case where no device tree is
available but the arch can still boot to a minimal usable system without
it.
