powerpc/prom: Fix "ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support" scan
The "ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support" property is a list of pairs of bytes representing the options and values supported by the platform firmware. At boot time, Linux scans this list and activates the available features it recognizes : Radix and XIVE. A recent change modified the number of entries to loop on and 8 bytes, 4 pairs of { options, values } entries are always scanned. This is fine on KVM but not on PowerVM which can advertises less. As a consequence on this platform, Linux reads extra entries pointing to random data, interprets these as available features and tries to activate them, leading to a firmware crash in ibm,client-architecture-support. Fix that by using the property length of "ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support".
