#1596573 — [PATCH] powerpc: Fix crash introduced with commit 5657933dbb6e

Code inserted during the code merged between kernels 4.10 and 4.11-rc1
caused an early panic quickly followed by a complete shutdown for
PowerPC. The traceback was not displayed long enough to read or
photograph, thus it is not reproduced here.

The problem was bisected to commit 5657933dbb6e ("treewide: Move dma_ops
from struct dev_archdata into struct device"). The problem was a missing
copy of critical information from struct dev_archdata into struct device,
leading to the dereference of a null pointer.

This fix was suggested by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.

I'm assuming I'll be getting this through the powerpc tree. Holler if
that isn't the case.
