Subject[PATCH] ARM: allow empty ATAG_CORE
Date
From: David Brown <davidb@quicinc.com>

The ATAG_CORE is allowed to be empty. Although this is handled
by parse_tag_core(), __vet_atags during startup rejects this tag
unless it contains data. Allow the initial tag to be either the
full size, or empty.

Signed-off-by: David Brown <davidb@quicinc.com>

Currently, some configurations of the Android bootloader use an empty
ATAG_CORE.
