The goal of this series is simply to remove warning treated as error.

I tried from home and I can still see the error using gcc 6.3.0, so
the original for() loop needs to be rewritten.

  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c: In function ‘check_cpu_feature_properties’:
arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c:301:16: error: comparison of unsigned
expression < 0 is always false [-Werror=type-limits]
  for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(feature_properties); ++i, ++fp) {
                ^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
