Larry Finger 46f401c429 powerpc/pmac: Fix crash in dma-mapping.h with NULL dma_ops
Commit 5657933dbb ("treewide: Move dma_ops from struct dev_archdata
into struct device") introduced a crash for macio devices, an example
backtrace being:

  kernel BUG at ./include/linux/dma-mapping.h:465!
  Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]

This was caused by the device having NULL dma_ops, triggering the
BUG_ON(). Previously the device inherited its dma_ops via the assignment
to dev->ofdev.dev.archdata. However after commit 5657933dbb the
dma_ops are moved into dev->ofdev.dev, and so they need to be explicitly
copied.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
