I sent this patch to the x86 maintainers and to Rob because of a patch
series that is modifying arch/x86/kernel/devicetree.c, in
x86_flattree_get_config() [1]. It does not look like my patch will
conflict with that patch at the moment, but it is possible that a conflict
could develop as that patch is developed.

I will add this patch to my devictree pull request, and ask the x86
maintainers to ack it and watch for possible conflicts as patch [1]
is further developed.
