With this patch in place, all sparc and sparc64 qemu emulations
fail to boot. Symptom is that the root file system is not found.
Reverting this patch fixes the problem. Bisect log is attached.

Ah, OF_ADDRESS depends on !SPARC, so of_dma_configure_id() is presumably
returning an unexpected -ENODEV from the of_dma_set_restricted_buffer()
stub. That should probably be returning 0 instead, since either way it's not
an error condition for it to simply do nothing.

Something like below?


Yes, that does the trick.

Subject: [PATCH] of: Return success from of_dma_set_restricted_buffer() when
!OF_ADDRESS

When CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS=n, of_dma_set_restricted_buffer() returns -ENODEV
and breaks the boot for sparc[64] machines. Return 0 instead, since the
function is essentially a glorified NOP in this configuration.
