Thanks Vasant,
Looks to me to be the correct fix. The class gets filled in by matching
device-tree compatible properties, however I think it should be acceptable to
have device-tree entries which either don't match or don't have a valid class.
In your case I believe it was crashing because POWER9 NHTM support was removed
but not the corresponding device-tree entry. Hence there are device-tree entries
which need to be skipped because they don't match, and this is your patch does -
so thanks!
