This change was already present in the previous version of the patch but
it was just today that I noticed a problem: there's no #address-cells
property in /chosen. This code will still work though because if there's
no property this function returns 2 which is the correct value for
ppc64. But it's conceptually wrong. You need to pass the node offset for
/ so that it gets the #address-cells property from there.

Here we're not so lucky. The default value returned when no #size-cells
property is present is 1, which is wrong for ppc64 so this change
introduces a bug. You also need to pass the node offset for / here.

Ditto here.
