4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: James Hogan <jhogan@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9a9ab3078e2744a1a55163cfaec73a5798aae33e ] We now have a platform (Ranchu) in the "generic" platform which matches based on the FDT compatible string using mips_machine_is_compatible(), however that function doesn't stop at a blank struct of_device_id::compatible as that is an array in the struct, not a pointer to a string. Fix the loop completion to check the first byte of the compatible array rather than the address of the compatible array in the struct.
