3.5.7.18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: bob picco <bpicco at meloft.net>

commit 771a37ff4d80b80db3b0df3e7696f14b298c67b7 upstream.

The Machine Description (MD) property "address-congruence-offset" is
optional. According to the MD specification the value is assumed 0UL when
not present. This caused early boot failure on T5.
