From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxx> When the length of the string is zero of_property_read_string should return -ENODATA according to the description of the function. However, of_property_read_string doesn't check pp->length. If pp->length is zero, return -ENODATA. Without this patch the following command in u-boot: fdt set /chosen/node property-name results in of_property_read_string returning -EILSEQ when attempting to read property-name. With this patch, it returns -ENODATA as expected.
