Jimi and I had an email exchange prompted by a comment to the code he added to locate open pic. Although the discussion mostly centered about the exact meaning of the word "sizes" (it turns out Jimi did not mean the value of the OF property #size-cells nor did he really mean the value of the OF property #address-cells. He meant that a variable passed by reference to the of_getproperty function will not be altered if the property does not exists) this discussion uncovered that the boot_of code incorrectly defaults the property #address-sizes to 1, whereas it should default to 2, as per OF documentation (IEEE_1275 pg. 110). I'll send a patch for this.
