Hello,

Our PASEMI Nemo board [1] doesn't boot with the PowerPC updates 6.4-1
[2].

The kernel hangs right after the booting Linux via __start() @
0x0000000000000000 ...

I was able to revert the PowerPC updates 6.4-1 [2] with the following
command: git revert 70cc1b5307e8ee3076fdf2ecbeb89eb973aa0ff7 -m 1

After a re-compiling, the kernel boots without any problems without the
PowerPC updates 6.4-1 [2].

Could you please explain me, what you have done in the boot area?
There's a few possibilities, but nothing obvious.

To begin with can you please test the following commits?

cheers
git revert e4ab08be5b4902e5b350b0e1e1a3c25eb21d76d4

[master 0086e2cbbec0] Revert "powerpc/isa-bridge: Remove open coded
"ranges" parsing"
  1 file changed, 129 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-)

After a recompiling it boots without any problems.

e4ab08be5b49 -- powerpc/isa-bridge: Remove open coded "ranges" parsing
is the bad commit.
Could I get a DT file for this board?

In the meantime, just revert this commit. I don't think I'll be able
to fix it before I'm out on sabbatical.

The dtb passed by the CFE firmware has a number of issues, which up till

This occasionally causes problems with changes made to mainline.
Changing the firmware is not the only way to modify the DT. Perhaps a
DT overlay would work better than carrying patches if the patches
aren't upstreamable. It kind of depends on how early you'd need to
apply the overlay and whether you'd need external phandles (aka
__symbols__ node, which the base DTB wouldn't support).

Looking at the DT, I think this change might fix it. Can you test this change:

I tested this patch today but unfortunately the Nemo board doesn't boot.
