Thank you.

I know, but I've already stopped reading mailing lists I'm subscribed to due 
to the amount of traffic, so I figured out that subscribing to new ones 
wouldn't be a good idea :-)

I can't test that right now as I don't have access to my hardware at the 
moment, but I doubt it will work.

The code now reads as

	ptmp = fdt_getprop(working_fdt, nodeoffset, prop, &len);
	if (!ptmp) {
		printf("prop (%s) not found!\n", prop);
		return 1;
	}

The new !ptmp check should prevent the crash, but it will also prevent the fdt 
set command from operating correctly, as it will return an error if the 
property isn't found.
