From e9daf2ad7f603f173d7cd7ee3673b326414f82f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nishanth Aravamudan Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2012 08:55:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/prom: Remove limit on maximum size of properties On a 16TB system (using AMS/CMO), I get: WARNING: ignoring large property [/ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory] ibm,dynamic-memory length 0x000000000017ffec and significantly less memory is thus shown to the partition. As far as I can tell, the constant used is arbitrary. Ben Herrenschmidt provided additional background that > The limit was originally set because of Apple machines carrying ROM > images in the device-tree, at a time where we were much more memory > constrained than we are now. and that it is likely not very useful any longer.
