Benjamin Herrenschmidt 5f64f73957 [PATCH] ppc32/ppc64: cleanup /proc/device-tree
This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64.  It does the following things:

 - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
   exist with the same name as a child node of the parent.  We now
   simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
   /proc with random result...

 - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
   address is 0.  This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
   buggy and didn't always work anyway.

 - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
   node.  These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
   the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
   dentry and inode cache bloat.

This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.
