It's possible to enable CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_BOOTX for a pseries kernel (maybe it shouldn't be), which is then booted with qemu/slof. But if you do that the kernel crashes in draw_byte(), with a DAR pointing somewhere near INT_MAX. Adding some debug to prom_init we see that we're not able to read the "address" property from OF, so we're just using whatever junk value was on the stack. So check the properties can be read properly from OF, if not we bail out before initialising btext, which avoids the crash.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
