Thanks, interesting...

So, if I understand correctly, currently we end-up in the 2nd else
block, and we straight die(), right?

With this patch, we have some chance to boot, by falling in the if()
block or...if we're not lucky, we also die() heh

With that said, any con in accepting this as-is if we don't find anybody
to test? Notice it at least has the advantage of fixing the device-tree
blob creation...

Ah, of course by "as-is" I mean I'd send a V2 fixing what you mentioned
before ("...use the preprocessor constant...etc").
Thanks,


Guilherme
