sparc: Clean arch-specific code in prom_common.c

prom_nextprop() and prom_firstprop() have slightly different calling 
conventions in 32 and 64 bit SPARC.

prom_common.c uses a ifdef guard to ensure that these functions are 
called correctly.

Adjust code to eliminate this ifdef by using a calling convention that 
is compatible with both 32 and 64 bit SPARC.

This has been build tested on sparc64 native, however I'm yet to boot it.

It hasn't been checked with sparc32 as I lack a working build environment.

I've now booted an image based upon this and it works perfectly so far.

Thanks,

Looks good.
Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

As a natural next step you could eliminate the following:
#ifdef CONFIG_SPARC32
                strcpy(p->name, name);
#endif

by moving this strcpy() to the prom_* functions
for sparc32.

It's happening soon, but there's other changes that have to happen at
the same time to have it not be useless code, so that's happening with
some of the cleanups of the prom/tree_*.c files prior to their
unification.

Looks good to me too, applied.

Thanks everyone.
