From: Geoff Levand <geoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit 6dff5b67054e17c91bd630bcdda17cfca5aa4215 upstream.
GCC 5 generates different code for this bootwrapper null check that
causes the PS3 to hang very early in its bootup. This check is of
limited value, so just get rid of it.
