[ARM] 4845/1: Orion: Ignore memory tags with invalid data
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The DNS-323, Kurobox-Pro / Linkstation-Pro, QNAP TS-109/TS-209 and some
other orion-based systems have several bogus memory entries in the tag
table, which causes the system to crash at startup. Ignore them by
resetting the tag ID to 0 in a machine fixup function.
