ARM can be big endian too. Would be nice to make this endian independent, or at least list this limitation in the commit log. > /* > * Exception handling. Something went wrong and we can't proceed.

The "ldr r5 ..." is now done only within #ifdef CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE. So if CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE is undefined then r5 will contain garbage.
