of/flattree: Make the kernel accept ePAPR style phandle information
Currently when processing flattened device trees, the kernel expects the phandle in a property called "linux,phandle". The ePAPR spec - not being Linux specific - instead requires phandles to be encoded in a property named simply "phandle". This patch makes the kernel accept either form when unflattening the device tree. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
