From 0e4aa9c2009187fff1c999fe0aaa134c1a84f48a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amos Waterland Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2006 23:45:02 -0400 Subject: [POWERPC] Fix builtin command line interaction with firmware It seems that prom_init's early_cmdline_parse is broken on at least Apple 970 xserves and IBM JS20 blades with SLOF. The firmware of these machines returns -1 and 1 respectively when getprop is called for the bootargs property of /chosen, causing Linux to ignore its builtin command line in favor of a null string. This patch makes Linux use its builtin command line if getprop returns an error or a null string.
