Argh, you are right, I accidentally deleted one line from the commit message.
The correct paragraph should read like this:

<snip>
According to the device tree specification, the default value for
#size-cells is 1, but fdt_size_cells() was returning 2 if this property
was not present.
</snip>

BTW this series is a fix and I'd like to see it in v2019.10-rc5. I'm not sure
who is to take it, you or Tom.

Matthias
