Hi,
I noticed that fs/openpromfs/inode.c has:
#define OPENPROM_ROOT_INO 0
It seems it was originally 16 but was changed to 0 here:

[OPENPROMFS]: Rewrite using in-kernel device tree and seq_file.
As far as I understand, inode 0 should never be used and can cause
various things to fail, e.g. my /bin/ls seems to completely ignore
getdents() results which have ->d_ino = 0.
I don't know if it actually causes any problems for people who are
actually using this, and I don't have the means to test the code anyway,
so just a heads up...
