In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/prom_init: Fixup missing powermac #size-cells
On some powermacs `escc` nodes are missing `#size-cells` properties,
which is deprecated and now triggers a warning at boot since commit
045b14ca5c36 ("of: WARN on deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells
handling").
For example:
Missing '#size-cells' in /pci@f2000000/mac-io@c/escc@13000
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/of/base.c:133 of_bus_n_size_cells+0x98/0x108
Hardware name: PowerMac3,1 7400 0xc0209 PowerMac
...
Call Trace:

As powermacs boot via prom_init it's possible to add the missing
properties to the device tree during boot, avoiding the warning. Note
that `escc-legacy` nodes are also missing `#size-cells` properties, but
they are skipped by the macio driver, so leave them alone.
