The panic happens since commit 9597abe00c1bab2aedce6b49866bf6d1e81c9eed (sections: fix section conflicts in arch/powerpc), however the root cause of this is that the NULL terminator were not added in commit a4f740cf33f7f6c164bbde3c0cdbcc77b0c4997c (of/flattree: Add of_flat_dt_match() helper function).
