+Subject: [PATCH] dtc: Sort unit addresses by number
+
+The sort option in dtc treats unit addresses as strings. This causes
+cpu nodes to end up out of order:
+
+# dtc -s -I fs -O dts /proc/device-tree | grep PowerPC,POWER7
+
+		PowerPC,POWER7@30 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@68 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@70 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@828 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@860 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@868 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@8a0 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@8b0 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@8f0 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@a0 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@a8 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@e0 {
+
+If we use this device tree for a kexec boot we end up with a confusing
+layout of logical CPUs:
+
+node 0 cpus: 0-23 72-95
+node 0 size: 32633 MB
+
+node 1 cpus: 24-71
+node 1 size: 32631 MB
+
+The reason for this is that we allocate logical CPU ids as we walk
+through the device tree.
+
+In cmp_subnode, if both nodes have a hex unit address and the
+basenames match, then compare by number.
+
+This fixes the issue:
+
+# dtc -s -I fs -O dts /proc/device-tree | grep PowerPC,POWER7
+		PowerPC,POWER7@30 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@68 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@70 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@a0 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@a8 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@e0 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@828 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@860 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@868 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@8a0 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@8b0 {
+		PowerPC,POWER7@8f0 {
+
+And the CPU layout is as expected:
+
+node 0 cpus: 0-47
+node 0 size: 32633 MB
+
+node 1 cpus: 48-95
+node 1 size: 32631 MB
