[PATCH] libfdt: Check for 8-byte address alignment in fdt_ro_probe_()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



The device tree must be loaded in to memory at an 8-byte aligned
address.  Add a check for this condition in fdt_ro_probe_() and a new
error code to return if we are not.
