Hey, while trying to define a non-unique devalias at the Sun PROM prompt (the SPARCclassic X has wrong aliases for scsi, disk1, etc. in the PROM, at least mine) I fell over a bug resulting in an endless loop while booting the kernel. The problem is the getting the properties list of the /aliases node. As the next element in this list is identified by name and the function which retrieves this property always returns the first occurrence this goes forever.... I could track down the issue to the function __prom_nextprop() in arch/sparc/prom/tree.c, but I am now looking for the definition of prom_nodeops->no_nextprop() without success. My naive solution would be to return not the first but the last occurrence of a property.
