[PATCH] of/fdt: Don't clear initial_boot_params if fdt_check_header() fails
From: Bjorn Helgaas
Date: Wed Oct 29 2014 - 14:15:10 EST
If the device tree pointer is NULL, early_init_dt_verify() fails, leaving
initial_boot_params unchanged. If the device tree pointer is non-NULL but
invalid, early_init_dt_verify() again fails but this time it also clears
initial_boot_params.
Leave initial_boot_params unchanged if the device tree pointer is invalid.
This doesn't fix a bug, but it makes the behavior more consistent and
easier to analyze.
