[PATCHv2 2/3] of: Add memory limiting function for flattened devicetrees

Laura Abbott lauraa at codeaurora.org
Tue Jul 1 19:03:27 PDT 2014


Buggy bootloaders may pass bogus memory entries in the devicetree.
Add of_fdt_limit_memory to add an upper bound on the number of
entries that can be present in the devicetree.
