    libfdt: Revert 6dcb8ba4 from upstream libfdt · e8c2d258
    Tom Rini 提交于
    In upstream libfdt, 6dcb8ba4 "libfdt: Add helpers for accessing
    unaligned words" introduced changes to support unaligned reads for ARM
    platforms and 11738cf01f15 "libfdt: Don't use memcpy to handle unaligned
    reads on ARM" improved the performance of these helpers.
    
    In practice however, this only occurs when the user has forced the
    device tree to be placed in memory in a non-aligned way, which in turn
    violates both our rules and the Linux Kernel rules for how things must
    reside in memory to function.
    
    This "in practice" part is important as handling these other cases adds
    visible (1 second or more) delay to boot in what would be considered the
    fast path of the code.
