When we removed the inclusion of skeleton.dtsi from the device trees, we broke booting for systems with bootloaders that aren't device tre aware. This can be seen, for example, when appending the device tree blob to the kernel image.
The reason booting broke was that the kernel lacked the device_type label in the memory node. Add in a default memory node wth the device_type. It can contain the memory address as the location is fixed for each SoC generation, but the size needs to be added by the bootloader or the board specific dts.
Fixes: 73102d6fdc32 ("ARM: dts: aspeed: Remove skeleton.dtsi") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt benh@kernel.crashing.org Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley joel@jms.id.au --- Arnd, can you please merge this as a fix for 4.16?
