Merge branch 'next-devicetree' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6
* 'next-devicetree' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6: (29 commits) of/flattree: forward declare struct device_node in of_fdt.h ipmi: explicitly include of_address.h and of_irq.h sparc: explicitly cast negative phandle checks to s32 powerpc/405: Fix missing #{address,size}-cells in i2c node powerpc/5200: dts: refactor dts files powerpc/5200: dts: Change combatible strings on localbus powerpc/5200: dts: remove unused properties powerpc/5200: dts: rename nodes to prepare for refactoring dts files of/flattree: Update dtc to current mainline. of/device: Don't register disabled devices powerpc/dts: fix syntax bugs in bluestone.dts of: Fixes for OF probing on little endian systems of: make drivers depend on CONFIG_OF instead of CONFIG_PPC_OF of/flattree: Add of_flat_dt_match() helper function of_serial: explicitly include of_irq.h of/flattree: Refactor unflatten_device_tree and add fdt_unflatten_tree of/flattree: Reorder unflatten_dt_node of/flattree: Refactor unflatten_dt_node of/flattree: Add non-boottime device tree functions of/flattree: Add Kconfig for EARLY_FLATTREE ... Fix up trivial conflict in arch/sparc/prom/tree_32.c as per Grant.

- * Search the device tree for the best MAC address to use. 'mac-address' is
- * checked first, because that is supposed to contain to "most recent" MAC
- * address. If that isn't set, then 'local-mac-address' is checked next,
- * because that is the default address. If that isn't set, then the obsolete
- * 'address' is checked, just in case we're using an old device tree.
- *
- * Note that the 'address' property is supposed to contain a virtual address of
- * the register set, but some DTS files have redefined that property to be the
- * MAC address.
- *
- * All-zero MAC addresses are rejected, because those could be properties that
- * exist in the device tree, but were not set by U-Boot. For example, the
- * DTS could define 'mac-address' and 'local-mac-address', with zero MAC
- * addresses. Some older U-Boots only initialized 'local-mac-address'. In
- * this case, the real MAC is in 'local-mac-address', and 'mac-address' exists
- * but is all zeros.
