This seems to be a known issue, as per DaveM's last changelog for fs/openpromfs/inode.c: diff-tree 3d824a4... (from 87b385d...) Author: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jun 25 23:19:14 2006 -0700 [OPENPROMFS]: Rewrite using in-kernel device tree and seq_file. We lose property writing functionality for the time being, but that will be easy to add back. The code and framework is so much simpler now. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> :100644 100644 efc7c91... 93a56bd... M fs/openpromfs/inode.c I'm not sure if these dates correspond with post-2.6.17.11, but that would be my impression.
