architecture.vec5 features: The boot-time memory management needs to
know the form of the "ibm,dynamic-memory-v2" property early during
scanning of the flattened device tree. This patch moves execution of
the function pseries_probe_fw_features() early enough to be before
the scanning of the memory properties in the device tree to allow
recognition of the supported properties.
[V2: No change]
[V3: Updated after commit 3808a88985b4f5f5e947c364debce4441a380fb8.]
[V4: Update comments]
[V5: Resynchronize/resubmit]
