Merge tag 'devicetree-fixes-for-3.11' of git://sources.calxeda.com/kernel/linux

Pull device tree fix from Rob Herring:
 "For DT unflattening, add missing memory initialization.

  This is needed for arches like PPC that use memblock_alloc.  This
  appears to have been an issue for some time, but is a somewhat limited
  usecase of OF_DYNAMIC"
