From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx>
When enabling CONFIG_OF on a platform where of_root is not populated by
firmware, we end up without a root node. In order to apply overlays and
create subnodes of the root node, we need one. Create this root node
by unflattening an empty builtin dtb.
If firmware provides a flattened device tree (FDT) then the FDT is
unflattened via setup_arch(). setup_of() is called immediately
after setup_arch(), and will create the default root node if it
does not exist.

This patch modifies init/main.c. It was not clear to me whether
to add Linus to the distribution, or if the change should flow
through Rob. (I did not add Linus.)
